5 AIM OF THE PROJECT To develop A novel technology, based on a process of Laser-Liquid-Solid- Interaction (LLSI) in simulated body fluids (SBF) Optimisation of LLSI method as a model of in vitro system for the controllable production of samples with hierarchically organized micro- and nanometer scale surfaces, typical for nature. To investigate The process of Hydroxyapatite (HA) growth on variously modified substrates The process of HA growth trough Detonation Synthesis Nanodiamand (DND) powders Production of nanobiocomposites HA/DND Application as a coatings of the orthopedic implants

6 Why production of HA/DND nanobiocomposites BROKERAGE EVENT Bone tissue is an example of a natural, hierarchically organized composite, built from collagen fibres and crystalline hydroxyapatite (HA). They are extremely weak, but in the natural state when mixed together they form a tough and flexible material. The fact that this mixing occurs in nature at room temperature without toxic chemicals makes this material all the more fascinating.

7 What we propose BROKERAGE EVENT Use of DND as analog of the collagen (organic part of the bone). * DND can secure architectural plan for mineralization of HA similar to the collagen. * Addition of DND powders to the deposition bath can improve mechanical properties of HA coatings. * DNDs are among the few materials that are really with nano-meter size particles, so its study in the field of implants will apply to the knowledge of understanding of the mechanism and kinetics of the growth of the therapeutic composite layers. Novel LLSI method is based on both * Forming of organized structure with micro design by laser treatment * Nanostructured HA gown through DND. Result: * Controllable production of samples with hierarchically organized micro and nanometer scale surfaces, typical for nature

8 Detonation Synthesis Nanodiamond Powders (DND) * nanosized DND particles - average diameters of ~5 nm * DND core-covered by graphitic layers and amorphous C. * surface of DND is rich in various functional groups * can be further functionalized by chemical treatment.

19 How can produce artificial bones through nanodiamonds (DND) I. Stage of experiments: Deposition of HA through DND on TiCu alloys Applied Method: soaking process Solution SBF and DND suspension Substrates: Cu 50 Ti 40 Al 10 ; Cu 50 Ti 50 alloys Characterization: by SEM, EDX, CPM and Raman spectroscopy Results: DND produced a stable aqueous suspension in SBF and stimulate the HA growth on the TiCu substrates.

20 Substrates Cu 50 Ti 40 Al 10 and Cu 50 Ti 50 alloys BROKERAGE EVENT Amorphous ribbons of Cu 50 Ti 40 Al 10 and Cu 50 Ti 50 alloys, with a thickness of 0.02 to 0.03 mm and a width of 2 mm were produced in a He atmosphere (300 mbar) by melt-spinning onto a copper quenching wheel. The substrates were fully amorphous as checked by X-ray diffraction and TEM The roughness (rms), measured by CPM was of the order of 42 nm.

21 HA growth on TiCuAl alloys By soaking process (first sample group) : SBF - magnetically stirred (ms) Time of growth - 4h ; at T = 37ºC Substrate - vertical position in SBF Raman spectrum EDX SEM: 1-sphere-like particles nm grouped in clusters; 2-particles, reached of C and Ca; size about 20 nm EDX: 1 and 2 areas Raman: vibrations characteristic of the CaP phase

22 HA through DNDs on TiCuAl alloys By soaking process (second sample group): SBF + DNDs ms DND - suspension Time of growth - 4h ; at T = 37ºC Substrate - vertical position in SBF Raman spectrum EDX SEM: 1 -sphere like particles 2 - particles, reached of C and Ca; size about 10 nm Raman -mixed compound of CaP and graphite CaP vibrational modes - hindered by the C-C vibrations

23 HA through DNDcs on TiCuAl alloys By soaking process (third sample group): SBF + DND cs DND - clear solution (cs) Time of growth - 24h ; at T = 37ºC Substrate - horizontal position in SBF, EDX SEM: 1 Ca/P =0.98 sphere like particles; 2- Ca/P =1.34 particles and C 3 Ca/P= 1.77 particles and reached of C; 4- bone-like patterning area S/Elements, [at. %] C Mg P Ca O Na Cl Si Ca/P TiCu_ TiCu_ TiCu_ TiCu_

24 Conclusions: Deposition of HA through DND on TiCu alloys by soaking process TiCu alloys induce HA growth. DND could have stimulated the HA growth and inclusion of Mg and Cl in the composites. Adding of the DND suspension and clear solution in SBF influence the grown layer morphology. The used of the DND clear solution apart from the sphere-like particle formats the porous areas similar to those in the structure of bone. The Ca/P ratio and the C concentration in the investigated layers are decreasing with advance of the process.

25 II. Stage of experiments: HA/DND composites grown by LLSI process Applied Method: LLSI Substrates: SS, S and SG Characterization: SEM/EDX, CPM and Raman spectroscopy and Nnanoscaning Results: The mechanical and optical properties of the grown HA/DND composites can be controlled by laser irradiation and in this way to model the situations in nature.

34 Nanoscan measurements Results: A notable effect on the value of E of HA/DND composites, grown on silica glass substrate (center). Higher values for E in the center (non irradiated area) compared with those at the edge (laser irradiated area), due to the laser irradiation. BROKERAGE EVENT Nanoscan mapping of the laser spots. e - laser irradiated area (edge) c- non irradiated area (centre)

35 Nanoscan measurements Young s modulus at load 400 μn E = 61.0 GPa - for the samples seeded with HA by LLSI E = 46.0 GPa - for SG/HA/DND/4s (thicker layer) E = 24.0 GPa - for SG/HA/DND/2ms (thinner layer) Conclusion: The decrease in the Young s modulus of the composite material is due to the adding of the DND suspension in the SBF and depend on the thickness of the composite layer.

36 Conclusions: Growth of HA through DND on SS, S and SG by LLSI BROKERAGE EVENT By CPM (developed in InESS), that is an extremely powerful tool for carrying out optical measurements rapidly without contact, and with high precision, newly grown composite materials were characterized. Raman study shows that vibration modes such as C-C, OH, C-O and cage deformations of DND structure are characteristic for composites, obtained only by LLSI. The laser interaction with the SS surface is not so strong when the surface is covered with DND suspension. Line scan measurements along the irradiated areas show a higher carbon content within the laser stripes than outside of them. The laser irradiation influences the value of the Young s modulus of the composites.

37 III. Stage of experiments: Growth of HA/DND composites on substrates with OH groups (SG and CG) Applied Method: simple soaking process Substrates: SG and CG Solution: SBF + DND suspension Characterization: XRD and IR spectroscopy Results: DND surface functional groups interact in a greater extent with the SBF in comparison with the SG and CG functional groups. The DND surface is chemically multifunctional (OH, C-O-H, C=C, C-O-C, C=O), HA is grown both by physical adsorption and chemical interaction. The OH- groups are regarded to play an important role in HA growth on a diamond s surface from SBF, as they charge it negatively and attract Ca2+ ions.

42 Conclusions: HA through DND on SG and CG by simple soaking process The growth of HA on substrates with OH groups was studied. The applied methods provided evidence that the acidity of the OH groups on DND surface was more effective for HA growth in comparison with the OH groups existing on the SG and CG surface. The observed effect was due to the chemical nonuniformity of the DND surface functional group (presence of C-O-H, C=C, C-O-C and C=O groups) and the OH concentration that ascertained the intensity of the HA growth. At a longer duration of growth, with the increasing of HA surface concentration on the substrates, a chemical reaction proceeded that led to a change in the conformation of HA structure and to an appearance of new HA phase.

46 Conclusions about HA/DND composites BROKERAGE EVENT Through the use of DND it has been shown that it is possible to make HA/DND composites on various substrates. The incorporation of DND in the grown HA has been demonstrated using CPM, Raman spectroscopy, SEM/EDX and Nano-indentation. The refractive index of the DND/SS composite has been found to be 1.45 (using CPM). Addition of the DND suspension to the SBF decreases the elasticity of the grown composite but increases the hardness, depending on the thickness of the layer. It was found that the mechanical and optical properties of the HA/DND composites can be controlled by laser irradiation and in this way to model the situations in nature. A bladder carcinoma cells showed good adhesion and spreading on the composites samples.

47 Biomaterials Applications BROKERAGE EVENT Orthopaedic Applications * Metallic, ceramic and polymeric biomaterials are used in orthopaedic applications. * HA is used for bone bonding applications to assist implant integration Dental Applications * Hydroxyapatite has been used for coatings on metallic pins and to fill large bone voids resulting from disease or trauma. Cardiovascular Applications * For instance, carbon in heart valves and polyurethanes for pace maker leads are used Cosmetic Surgery * Materials such as silicones have been used in cosmetic surgery for applications
