Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• A high-speed centrifugal stirring method was developed to uniformly disperse and attach nano-Cu particles onto Zn powder, preserving powder integrity and enabling elemental homogeneity. • LPBF facilitated in-situ precipitation of semi-coherent ε-CuZn5 phases within ultra-refined equiaxed grains. This microstructure yielded significantly improved mechanical properties. • The scaffold demonstrated an optimized corrosion rate within the ideal range for bone healing, ensuring both stability and biofunctionality. • The scaffold demonstrated controlled Zn2+ / Cu2+ co-release kinetics, significantly enhancing in vitro osteogenic differentiation and exhibiting potent broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. • The in vivo experiments confirmed that the scaffold exhibits enhanced osteogenic properties.
