Abstract
The invention discloses a degradable open-cell porous zinc/zinc alloy biomaterial and a preparation method thereof. The degradable open-cell porous zinc/zinc alloy biomaterial is of a completely open-cell structure, wherein the hole pattern and the size are controllable, holes are communicated by use of communicating holes, and the number and the size of the communicating holes in the hole walls are controllable; the biomaterial is even in overall hole distribution and adjustable in porosity. The preparation method of the biomaterial comprises the following steps that sodium chloride crystal particles are sintered to obtain an open-cell porous sodium chloride prefabricated structure; a zinc or zinc alloy melt is poured into a die cavity in which a sodium chloride prefabricated body is put and pressure seepage casting is performed; the outer skin of a zinc or zinc alloy block containing the sodium chloride prefabricated body is removed, and then alkali wash is performed and the sodium chloride is performed to obtain the degradable open-cell porous zinc/zinc alloy biomaterial. The preparation method of the degradable open-cell porous zinc/zinc alloy biomaterial is simple in process, convenient to operate and pollution-free; the obtained open-cell porous structure has the advantages that the holes are communicated with each other and distributed evenly, the appearance and size of the holes are controllable, the porosity and the strength are relatively high, no hole forming agent is left and hole closure is prevented, and meanwhile, the degradation rate is adjustable; as a result, the biomaterial can be used as a new generation degradable bone tissue engineering stent.
