Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to exemplary drawings. It should be noted that, in adding reference numerals to the constituent elements of the drawings, the same constituent elements are denoted by the same reference numerals even though they are shown in different drawings. In the following description of the embodiments, detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the best of an understanding clear.

In describing the components of the embodiment, terms such as first, second, A, B, (a), and (b) may be used. These terms are intended to distinguish the constituent elements from other constituent elements, and the terms do not limit the nature, order or order of the constituent elements. When a component is described as being "connected", "coupled", or "connected" to another component, the component may be directly connected or connected to the other component, Quot; may be " connected, " " coupled, " or " connected. &Quot;

The components included in any one embodiment and the components including common functions will be described using the same names in other embodiments. Unless otherwise stated, the description of any one embodiment may be applied to other embodiments, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted in the overlapping scope.

FIG. 1 is an enlarged view of a portion (A) of a surface of an orthopedic artificial metal object, schematically showing a state in which an orthopedic artificial metal object according to an embodiment is inserted into a target object, FIG. 2 is a cross- (A) of the surface of the artificial metal object.

Referring to FIG. 1, an orthopedic artificial metal object 1 according to one embodiment includes a stem 10 inserted into a cavity of a first portion of a subject, a stem 10 attached to the stem 10, And a cup 30 coupled to the connection 20 and to the recess of the second portion of the object. For example, the subject may be a human, an animal, etc., the first portion may be a femur, and the second portion may be a acetabulum. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and in some cases, the orthopedic artificial metal object 1 may have a shape conforming to a region of the object. That is, orthopedic artificial metal (1) can be used in various parts of the object such as the hip, elbow joint, ankle joint, and knee joint.

1 and 2, an orthopedic artificial metal object 1 includes a nano-microstructure 110, a self-assembled monolayer 120 formed on the nano-microstructure 110, And a lubricant layer 130 formed on the fabricated monolayer 120.

The nano-microstructure 110 may be formed on the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1, for example, on the surface of the stem 10. Here, the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1 may be made of at least one metal material. For example, the metal material forming the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1 may be titanium (Ti), stainless steel, or the like. Unlike the surface of a general object, the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1 is made of a metal material such as titanium or stainless steel as described above, so that microorganisms do not adhere to the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1 The structure formation of the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1 that promotes the wetting of the lubricating layer 130 is important.

The nano-microstructures 110 may provide a set roughness to the lubricating layer 130 formed on the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1. The setting roughness provided by the nano-microstructure 110 not only improves the wetting of the lubricating fluid contained in the lubricating layer 130 but also enhances the adhesion to the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1, The lubricating layer 130 can be uniformly formed on the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1.

The self-assembled monolayer 120 refers to an organic monolayer formed spontaneously on the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1, and can be adhered on the nano-microstructure 110 to form a monolayer. The self-assembled monolayer 120 can make the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1 formed with the nano-microstructures 110 hydrophobic.

When the self-assembled monolayer 120 is formed between the nano-microstructure 110 and the lubricant layer 130, the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1 is prevented from being damaged by external impact or wear Microstructure 110 due to the spontaneous formation of the self-assembled monolayer 120 even if the distribution balance of the lubricant layer 130 on the nano-microstructure 110 is broken, the lubricant layer 130 on the nano- Can be restored.

The lubricating layer 130 may wet the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1. Thus, microorganisms such as bacteria and bacteria can not slide on the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1 and can slide along the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1.

The lubricating layer 130 may protect the nano-microstructure 110. For example, when the nano-microstructures 110 are damaged due to external force for some reason, microorganisms may propagate in the damaged portions of the nano-microstructures 110. In order to prevent such a phenomenon, the lubricant layer 130 can protect the nano-microstructure 110 from external force to prevent the formation of a biological film by microorganisms.

The lubricant layer 130 may be formed on the self-assembled monolayer 120 to have a set surface energy. Here, the material constituting the lubricating layer 130 may have a low surface energy suitable for modifying the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1 as a lubricating fluid. For example, the lubricating fluid may be a perfluorocarbon liquid.

As another example, the lubricating fluid may include perfluorotri-n-pentylamine FC-70, perfluoropolyether Krytox-100, perfluoropolyether Krytox-103, perfluorodecaline Flutec PP6, Fluorinert FC-70 FC-40, perfluorohexane FC- perfluorooctane PF5080, perfluorooctyl bromide 1-bromoperfluorooctane, perfluoroperhydrophenanthrene Vitreon, FluoroMed APF-215HP, 3-ethoxy-1,1,1,2,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,6 -dodecafluoro-2-trifluoromethyl-hexane, HFE-7500, Krytox FG-40, Krytox-105, Krytox-107 and Perfluorodecalin.

In modifying the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1, the viscosity and density of the lubricating fluid forming the lubricating layer 130 may be important. Since the orthopedic artificial metal object 1 is inserted into the object, it is important to select a lubricating fluid having a viscosity and density within a specific range in which the body temperature of the object is considered.

For example, the viscosity of the lubricating fluid may be between 0.1 and 0.8 cm ² / s and the density between 1500 and 2000 kg / m ³ . As described above, according to the viscosity and density characteristics of the lubricating fluid constituting the lubricating layer 130 considering the insertion of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1 into the object, the repellency of the lubricating layer 130 with respect to the microbe is improved And the slip of the microorganism to the lubricating layer 130 can be improved.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the nano-microstructures 110 may be formed on the stem 10. The nano-microstructures 110 are formed on the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1 by various methods such as wet etching, dry etching, mechanical etching and laser etching on the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1 . However, a method of depositing the nano-microparticles on the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1 in such a manner that the nano-micro structure 110 is formed on the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1 is difficult, It is undesirable because there is a risk that the atoms float in the body and cause side effects. Various methods of forming the nano-microstructures 110 on the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10. FIG.

The nano-microstructures 110 can be formed in nanoscale or microscale. The nano-microstructures 110 may include a plurality of nano-sized or micro-sized protrusions. The geometric features such as the size of each of the plurality of protrusions of the nano-microstructure 110 and the spacing of adjacent protrusions are important when the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1 is wetted by the lubricant layer 130 Surface porosity and the like of the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1 serving as a parameter.

The size of the diameter D of the plurality of protrusions of the nano-microstructure 110 may be between about 50 and about 300 nanometers (nm). For example, the diameter D of the plurality of protrusions may be about 50 nanometers, about 100 nanometers, about 150 nanometers, about 200 nanometers, about 250 nanometers, about 300 nanometers, and the like. In addition, the diameter D of the plurality of protrusions of the nano-microstructure 110 may be between 3 and 30 micrometers (占 퐉). For example, the diameter D of the plurality of protrusions may be about 3 micrometers, about 5 micrometers, about 10 micrometers, about 15 micrometers, about 20 micrometers, about 25 micrometers, about 30 micrometers, etc. . The spacing L between adjacent protrusions of the plurality of protrusions of the nano-microstructure 110 may be between about 100 and about 500 nanometers (nm). For example, the spacing L between adjacent protrusions of the plurality of protrusions may be about 100 nanometers, about 150 nanometers, about 200 nanometers, about 250 nanometers, about 300 nanometers, about 350 nanometers, about 350 nanometers 400 nanometers, about 450 nanometers, about 500 nanometers, and the like. According to such a geometrical scale of the nano-microstructure 110, the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1 can have a porosity and a surface area of a level suitable for biocompatibility.

The plurality of protrusions of the nano-microstructure 110 may be composed of at least two sets having different diameters (D). For example, the plurality of protrusions of the first set may be between 50 and 300 nanometers (nm), and the plurality of protrusions of the second set may be between 3 and 30 micrometers (mu m). As described above, when the nano-microstructures 110 have a mixed structure such that the plurality of protrusions have different diameters D, the characteristics of the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1 in the case of nanoscale It is possible to have all the characteristics of the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1 in the case of microscale.

The plurality of protrusions of the nano-microstructure 110 may have a specific shape. Depending on the shape of each of the plurality of protrusions of the nano-microstructure 110, the surface roughness characteristics of the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1 may be varied. For example, each of the plurality of protrusions may have a shape such as a cylindrical shape, a pyramid shape, a cone shape, or the like. In addition, the cross-section of the plurality of protrusions of the nano-microstructure 110 may be circular, oval or polygonal. The protruding direction of the plurality of protrusions of the nano-microstructure 110 is a direction perpendicularly protruding from the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1, but not limited thereto, Each of the protrusions can establish a set angle with respect to the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1.

Referring to FIG. 4, the nano-microstructure 111 according to one embodiment may be formed on the surface of an orthopedic artificial metal object, for example, on the surface of the stem 10. The nano-microstructure 111 may include a plurality of protrusions. The shape of the nano-microstructure 111 formed on the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object is important not only in the surface roughness but also in the maintenance time of the function of the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object.

Each of the plurality of protrusions of the nano-microstructure 111 may have a conical shape in which one surface is smaller in area than the other surface. For example, one surface of each of the plurality of protrusions, which is smaller in area than the other surface, is adjacent to the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object and the other surface is positioned in a direction far from the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object Each of the plurality of protrusions may be formed on the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object. In other words, each of the plurality of protrusions may increase in width in a direction away from the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object. Such a structure may also be referred to as an over-hang structure. As the plurality of protrusions have an overhang structure, the functionality of the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object - preventing the attachment of microorganisms, wetting of the lubricating fluid, etc., can be maintained for a long time.

FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of a cross section of the nano-microstructure according to one state of FIG. 4, and FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of a cross section of the nano-microstructure according to another state of FIG.

Since about 70% or more of the object is composed of water, the technique of controlling water is very important. Since the orthopedic artificial metal inserted into the object is in contact with the body fluids of the object, which is a water component, the material forming the nano-microstructure formed on the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal and its specific shape are important.

Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the nano-microstructure according to one embodiment may include a first sub-structure 112 and a second sub-structure 113. The first sub-structure 112 may be formed by agglomerating at least one of the first particles against the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object. The first sub-structure 112 may be formed such that the proximal portion relative to the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object is smaller in width than the distal portion. That is, the first sub-structure 112 may form an overhang structure by aggregating at least one of the first particles. For example, at least one of the first particles may be an adhesive that performs an adhesive function. The second sub-structure 113 may be formed by attaching at least one or more second particles to the periphery of the first sub-structure 112. For example, the at least one second particle can be SiO ₂ NPs.

A first substructure 112 formed on the surface of an orthopedic artificial metal object and a second substructure 113 formed to surround the first substructure 112 so that the air layer is adjacent to the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object And the air layer and the liquid layer are transferred from the state in which the liquid layer is formed on the air layer to the state in which the air layer and the liquid layer are mixed. In other words, the first sub-structure 112 and the second sub-structure 113 formed on the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object can promote the wetting of the liquid layer to the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object.

1, 2 and 7, when the self-assembled monolayer 120 adheres onto the nano-microstructure 110 to form a monolayer, the molecules in the self-assembled monolayer 120 can be aligned with each other. For example, the molecules that make up the self-assembled monolayer 120 may be polymers, including the head 121, the chain 122, and the functionalities 123. At this time, the thickness of the monolayer may be several tens nanometers (nm) in size.

The head 121 may be chemically attached to the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1. Chain 122 may be predominantly of hydrocarbon and may assist in the mutual alignment of molecules in self-assembled monolayer 120 by van der Waals interactions. The functional group 123 can convert the property of the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1 into a hydrophobic property so as to prevent the microorganism from being adsorbed to the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1.

The kind of the functional group 123 is important in the interaction with the microorganism and the transformation of the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object 1.

The functional group 123 may be a fluorinated silane group. For example, functional group 123 may be selected from the group consisting of heptadecafluoro-1,1,2,2-tetrahydrodecyltrichlorosilane, tridecafluoro-1,1,2,2-tetrahydrooctyltrichlorosilane, trichloro 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorooctyl) silane and 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane.

Referring to FIG. 8, a method of manufacturing an orthopedic artificial metal object according to an embodiment may modify a surface of an orthopedic artificial metal object to form a nano-microstructure (S810). Here, the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object can be made of titanium and stainless steel. In the surface structure forming step (S810), the nano-microstructure can be formed on the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal by applying a chemical method or a mechanical method to the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal material made of titanium and stainless steel.

Then, a self-assembled monolayer can be formed on the nano-microstructure (S820). For example, the self-assembled monolayer can have a fluorinated silane group.

Thereafter, a lubricating layer having a set surface energy can be formed on the self-assembled monolayer (S830). For example, the lubricating fluid forming the lubricating layer may be a perfluorocarbon liquid, and may have a low surface energy suitable for surface modification. At this time, one kind of perfluorocarbon liquid may be selected so that the value of the viscosity and density of the perfluorocarbon liquid is biocompatible.

Referring to FIG. 9, a method of forming a structure on the surface of an orthopedic artificial metal object according to an embodiment includes etching (S910) an aqueous solution of hydrogen fluoride (HF) on a surface of the first metal (HF) aqueous solution and a nitric acid (HNO ₃ ) aqueous solution (S 920). However, it is not limited to the etching order shown in Fig. Here, the first metal may be stainless steel and the second metal may be titanium.

In step S910 of etching the surface of the first metal with an aqueous solution of hydrogen fluoride (HF), the concentration of the aqueous solution of hydrogen fluoride (HF) may be 49%. In this process, the surface of the first metal can be wet etched for about 30 minutes at a temperature between about 25 and 40 degrees C in an aqueous solution of hydrogen fluoride (HF).

2 as hydrogen fluoride (HF) aqueous solution with nitric acid to a surface made of metal (HNO _3), and at step (S920) for etching with a mixed solution of aqueous solution of hydrogen fluoride (HF) concentrations of from 3 to 5% of the aqueous solution of nitric acid (HNO ₃ ) aqueous solution may be 3 to 20%. In this process, the surface of the second metal may be wet-etched in a mixed solution of an aqueous solution of hydrogen fluoride (HF) and an aqueous solution of nitric acid (HNO ₃ ) for about 10 to 60 minutes.

Referring to FIG. 10, a dry etching process according to one embodiment is shown for a surface of an orthopedic artificial metal object.

First, when performing nano-micropatterning on the surface of an orthopedic artificial metal material in a step of S1000 (nano-micropatterning) using photolithography, the size of the pattern is about 100 to 300 nanometers (nm) The surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object can be patterned such that the spacing between the patterns is about 100 to 500 nanometers (nm).

Thereafter, the surface of the orthopedic artificial metal object can be engraved with a pattern of reactive ion etching on the surface of the nano-micropatterned orthopedic artificial metal object.

Although not shown in FIGS. 1 to 10, the method of manufacturing an orthopedic artificial metal object according to an embodiment includes a mechanical etching method in which a surface of an orthopedic artificial metal object is mechanically etched using sand particles, And a laser etching method of forming a micropattern or a nano pattern using a nano-laser on the surface of water.
