Carbon nanofibre (CNF) is a potential reinforcement in Zn implants. Nevertheless, its poor interfacial compatibility reduces the reinforcement efficiency drastically. In this study, rare earth lanthanum (La) was used as a compatible interface layer between CNF and Zn matrix. On the one hand, La in situ grew on acidified CNF by a chemical synthesis and achieved a firm coordination covalent bond with the oxygenated functional group derived from CNF. On the other hand, La, as an active rare earth element, could carry out the alloying reaction with the Zn matrix, thus forming strong metal bonding. Results showed that the tensile strength of composites was enhanced from 180.2 ± 12.1 to 243.4 ± 10.2 MPa since the La interface layer promoted the transfer of the interfacial shear stress from the Zn matrix to CNF and thereby consumed massive fracture energy. Encouragingly, it simultaneously improved the ductility, as La activated basal slip and improved the dislocation accommodation capacity. Moreover, the Zn implants displayed excellent anti-tumour efficiency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
