Il magnesio e le sue leghe stanno suscitando un crescente interesse per applicazioni
biomedicali grazie alle loro proprietà di resistenza meccanica, elevata biocompatibilità e …

Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys have been introduced as an alternative to the traditional
metals since they are biodegradable. However, its corrosion is too quick at the initial stage …

This work presents new anticorrosive coatings for the AZ31 magnesium alloy, based on
hybrid sol–gel films doped with a corrosion inhibitor. The sol–gel coatings were prepared by …

There is a growing need in the biomedical field for the use of biodegradable metal implants
to ensure proper healing of damaged tissue within the necessary time frame. In fact, these …

The corrosion protection behaviour of organic–inorganic hybrid thin films on AZ31 and AZ61
magnesium alloy substrates has been studied. These films were prepared by a sol–gel dip …

Since elemental magnesium was isolated by Sir Humphrey Davy in 1808 it was used for the
first time for a medical application in the form of a wire to seal blood vessels in the year 1878 …

Magnesium is one of the lightest metals and magnesium alloys have good strength to weight
ratio making them very attractive for many particular applications [1]. The main drawback of …
