Abstract:
Objective Carbon/carbon ( C/C) composites are a potential material for bone repair .To improve the hydrophilicity and biological activity of C/C composites , polydopamine coating was prepared on the surface of C /C composites.Methods By changing the coating time and coating environment ( oxygen or air atmosphere ), a series of polydopamine coating samples were prepared . The water contact angle test , scanning electron microscope , energy dispersive spectrometer , atomic force microscope and protein adsorption test were used to characterize the properties of different samples.Then, the data were analyzed to optimize preparation conditions .Results When the concentration of dopamine was 2.0 g/L,and the coating time was 30 min (oxygen atmosphere) +11.5 h (air atmosphere), the water contact angle was decreased from 64.0°(blank sample) to 25.9°, suggesting that the hydrophilicity was improved greatly . The results of the scanning electron microscope , energy dispersive spectrometer and atomic force microscope showed that the coating was uniform and dense .The amount of protein adsorption per sample was 0.2817 mg.Conclusion The polydopamine coating on the C/C composites improves its hydrophilicity and biological activity , which indicates that the polydopamine coated C/C composites will be a new potential material for bone tissue repair .
