Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide the good medical metal of a kind of biocompatibility and biological safety to implant the method for preparing of porous material, the medical metal that the inventive method makes is implanted the porous niobium material and is specially adapted to the medical embedded material as the coupling member of shoulder bone, skull and facial bone tissue injury or defect.
The objective of the invention is to realize through following technical scheme:
A kind of medical metal is implanted the method for preparing of porous material; Adopt foam impregnation method sintering to form; It is characterized in that: be that employing starch is that organic binder bond and distilled water are that solution and the mean diameter that dispersant is mixed with processed niobium powder slurry less than 43 μ m, oxygen content less than 0.1% niobium powder, and be cast in the organic foam body that dipping is filled with niobium powder slurry until organic foam body opening crack; Drying is removed the dispersant in the organic foam body that is cast with niobium powder slurry then; Ungrease treatment is to remove organic binder bond and organic foam body under inert gas shielding atmosphere, and sintering makes porous sintered body under the vacuum, piles up on the foam framework that constitutes through agglomerating pure niobium powder; The niobium powder particles has the sintering neck structure each other, and annealing and conventional post processing make the porous niobium under the vacuum again; The mass percentage concentration of said amidin is 2~6%.
The inventor finds in research process; Selection and occupation mode to organic adhesive in the preparation of medical porous niobium embedded material have exquisite; If to its selection and improper use, the adhesion in the porous niobium that can occur making between the niobium powder is little, and the porous niobium surface is inhomogeneous as local overstocked or too lax; The problem of series that the columbic porosity of porous is excessive or too small or the like, thus make its biocompatibility and mechanical property thereof not reach medical requirement.
The porous niobium that the present invention implants purposes for medical metal finds a kind of practicable method for preparing; The present invention adopts starch as binding agent; Its low price, because starch is the food that people use always, its biological safety of additive when therefore preparing as biomaterial is good; Starch slurry viscosity of the present invention is little; The porosity that starch size floods the sample perforate that is bigger; Sample surfaces after drying is removed dispersant is not prone to the phenomenon in plugging hole crack, moreover starch just can decompose water outlet and carbon dioxide at low temperatures as Organic substance; Improved the purity of sample, made the porous niobium of the medical metal embedded material that makes have superior bio-compatibility and biological safety; But be that the slurry of bonding agent is when being used for infusion process preparation porous niobium medical embedded material with starch; Adhesion in the porous niobium that makes between the niobium powder is less, porosity is bigger; Be prone to make that mechanical property can not get guaranteeing; Make the porous niobium as the medical embedded material purposes not possess practical value, therefore not will consider with starch usually is that bonding agent adopts the porous niobium of immersion process for preparing as medical embedded material.The inventor also finds in research process, the niobium powder be easy to starch and organic foam body in carbon react, be prone to make the porous niobium medical embedded material impurity content that finally makes to raise, influence its biocompatibility and biological safety.But the present invention reasonably cooperates through adopting described technological means; Make that the present invention is that the slurry of bonding agent adopts porous niobium that infusion process makes under the situation that does not influence the common mechanical property that existing porous niobium had with starch; Still can obtain having the porous niobium of sintering neck structure; Mechanical properties such as porous niobium ductility have been improved, for convenience and the application of actual effect of porous niobium in medical metal is implanted provides good method.The porous niobium that adopts method for preparing according to the invention to make is specially adapted to the medical embedded material as the coupling member of the osseous tissue wound of skull, shoulder or bone defect.Simultaneously, simple, the easy control of described method for preparing technology; Whole process of preparation is harmless, pollution-free, the nonhazardous dust, and human body is had no side effect.
Above-mentioned organic foam body can adopt similar substances such as polyurethane foam, polyether ester foam, optimization polyurethane foam of the present invention.Said slurry is poured into a mould, impregnated in the said organic foam body; After drying is removed the dispersant in the organic foam body that is cast with niobium powder slurry then; The columbic porosity of porous that forms is between 51.0~77.7%; Hole average diameter 200~500 μ m form the sintering neck structure at least between said porous niobium 50% niobium powder particles, preferably form the sintering neck structure at least between 80% niobium powder particles.
In order to guarantee under the columbic bio-compatible implementations of medical material porous of the present invention; Further improve its mechanical property, be beneficial to the formation of sintering neck structure simultaneously, said slurry is that starch is heated to dissolving with distilled water; The preferred amidin and the said metal niobium powder of percentage by weight 5% of adopting processed niobium powder slurry; Wherein, with weight be the metal niobium powder of 3~5 parts (preferred 4 parts) to add weight be in 1 part the said amidin, stir and process starchiness; And to be cast in the aperture be 0.48~0.89mm, density 0.015 g/cm

The porous niobium finished product that adopts said method to make has the foaming structure that the hole three-dimensional communication distributes, and piles up on the foam framework that constitutes through agglomerating pure niobium powder, and the niobium powder particles has the sintering neck structure each other.And the sintering neck structure that forms between the niobium powder particles in this porous niobium finished product microstructure surpasses 80%.
The inventor detects by porous material density, porosity, aperture and the various mechanical property of standards such as GB/T5163-2006, GB/T5249-1985, GB/T6886-2001 to above-mentioned porous niobium finished product: this porous niobium is to have the pore structure that three-dimensional communication distributes; Its impurity content is lower than 0.3% finished product; Its even pore distribution and connection, density 2.45g/cm
3, porosity 72.5%, hole average diameter 300 μ m, elastic modelling quantity 1.5GPa, yield strength 55MPa, comprcssive strength 60MPa, hardness 130MPa, amount of plastic deformation 11.4%, tensile strength 37MPa, the elongation 14.7% of having no progeny; When carrying out anti-bending test by the method for metal bending strength measurement, the fracture rate of sintering neck is less than 40% in this porous niobium microstructure, and the fracture rate of granule interior is greater than 60%.
In the method that the foregoing description 6 provides, we can also do other to wherein each kind of condition and select can obtain equally porous niobium of the present invention.In following embodiment, if do not specify that the parameters condition is all identical with previous embodiment 6 in the table.
Gained porous niobium finished product is pressed preceding method and is detected:
