The present study aims to collect data, compare results and assess techniques used for
improving corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of biodegradable Mg alloys for …

Over the past two decades, advances in arthroscopic and minimally invasive surgical
techniques have led to significant growth in sports medicine surgery. Implants such as …

This book provides a comprehensive review of the biomedical applications of biodegradable
magnesium and its alloys. It discusses the basic concepts of biodegradation mechanisms as …

Zinc was recently suggested to be a potential candidate material for degradable coronary
artery stent. The corrosion behavior of pure zinc exposed to r-SBF up to 336 h was …

People suffering from accidents and joint diseases such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid
arthritis, and post-traumatic arthritis may need surgery requiring implants such as total hip …

In this study, nanostructured biodegradable pure Zn, Zn-4 wt.% Mn and Zn-24 wt% Mn alloys
were produced by 20 h mechanical alloying and consequent cold pressing and sintering …

Abstract Zn-Mn-Cu alloys with micro-alloying of Mn and Cu in Zn are developed as potential
biodegradable metals. Although the as-cast alloys are very brittle, their ductilities are …

The fact that the bulk nanostructured metallic materials have been one of the hottest topics in
materials science in the last decade clearly shows their growing importance as future …

Medical implants made of biodegradable materials could be advantageous for temporary
applications, such as mechanical support during bone-healing or as vascular stents to keep …

Benefits of RE addition on Mg alloys strength and corrosion resistance are widely reported
but their effects on biodegradability and biocompatibility are still of concern. This paper …
