摘要

The newer corrosion-resistant nanomaterials have proven revolutionary in the biomedical implant field due to their applications while addressing the need for biocompatibility and longevity in implants. Corrosion is a common issue that causes stainless steel, titanium alloys, cobalt-chromium, and other traditional implants to suffer from material degradation and inflammation, among other side effects. The application of corrosion-resistant coatings and the enhancement of lower-level mechanical properties of nanostructured materials, including chemical and biological integration, utilize advancements in nanotechnology. Hydroxyapatite nanocoatings and graphene-doped layers of nanostructured materials can significantly mitigate corrosion by acting as barriers against bodily fluids. Moreover, newly modified nanostructured titanium and magnesium alloys, with zirconium and tantalum additions, have shown increased resistance to oxidation and ion release, resulting in superior performance. Additionally, these modifications enhance biocompatibility, which is vital for implant functionality. The bioactive surfaces of nanomaterials promote cellular adhesion and tissue integration, while nanomaterials with antimicrobial properties help address post-surgical complications. For example, using silver and copper nanoparticles in implant coatings provides antibacterial characteristics that reduce the likelihood of infection in the long term while remaining completely biocompatible.
