| Description | In this study, Ti-6Al-4V alloy samples were processed by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) in phytic acid $(H_{12}$Phy) electrolytes with the addition of different concentrations of $EDTA-MgNa_{2}$ $(Na_{2}$MgY) and potassium hydroxide (KOH). The surface characterization and cytocompatibility of MAO-treated samples were evaluated systematically. $H_{12}$Phy is a necessary agent for MAO coating formation, and the addition of $Na_{2}$MgY and KOH into the electrolytes increases the surface roughness, micropore size and Mg contents in the coatings. The MAO coatings are primarily composed of anatase, rutile, MgO and $Mg_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}$. Magnesium (Mg) ions in the electrolytes enter into MAO coatings by diffusion and electromigration. The MAO coatings containing 2.97 at% Mg show excellent cell viability, adhesion, proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity, extracellular matrix (ECM) mineralization and collagen secretion, but the cytocompatibility of the MAO coatings containing 6.82 at% Mg was the worst due to the excessively high Mg content. Our results revealed that MAO coatings with proper Mg contents improve the cytocompatibility of the Ti-6Al-4V alloys and have large potential in orthopedic applications. |
