Biodegradable metals have gained vast attention as befitting candidates for developing
degradable metallic implants. Such implants are primarily employed for temporary …

The combination of light weight, strength, biodegradability, and biocompatibility of
magnesium (Mg) alloys can soon break the paradigm for temporary orthopedic implants. As …

Magnesium (Mg) alloy‐based porous bio‐nanocomposite bone scaffolds were developed
by powder metallurgy route. Selective alloying elements such as calcium (Ca), zinc (Zn) and …

The biodegradation rate of Mg alloy medical devices, such as screws and plates for
temporary bone fracture fixation or coronary angioplasty stents, is an increasingly important …

This study deals with the fabrication of magnesium-alloy-based biodegradable porous bone
scaffolds. Selected amounts of calcium, zinc and strontium were incorporated into …

ABSTRACT PM-technique produced magnesium-alloy bio-nanocomposite porous scaffolds
with carbamide as porogen. Mg samples were alloyed with Ca, Zn, and Sr for enhanced …

Magnesium-matrix implants can be detected by X-ray, making post-operative monitoring
easier. Since the density and mechanical properties of Mg alloys are similar to those of …

Fe foams when combined with a proper surface coating can be effectively used as a
biodegradable metal with improved biocompatibility and bioactivity. Herein, Fe foams …

At room temperature, the mechanical properties and microstructural evolution of magnesium-
calcium alloys (Mg-Ca) were investigated. Magnesium with calcium 0.3, 0.9, 1.5, 2.1, and 2.7 …

The mechanical and physical properties of biodegradable Mg-based alloys make them
suitable for temporary orthopaedic implants. However, processing them in such a way that it …
