The growing problem of resistant infections due to antibiotic misuse is a worldwide concern
that poses a grave threat to healthcare systems. Thus, it is necessary to discover new …

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

Iron, while attracting less attention than magnesium and zinc, is still one of the best
candidates for biodegradable metal stents thanks its biocompatibility, great elastic moduli …

Biodegradable metals have been extensively studied due to their potential use as temporary
biomedical devices, on non-load bearing applications. These types of implants are …

Systematic works on the effect of grain size on the corrosion resistance of low carbon steel
are scant. In the present work, a spectrum of grain sizes was obtained by simple heat …

The movement towards the commercialization of biodegradable Fe has been hampered by
the perceived slow degradation rate of the metal in physiological environments. The …

Implant-associated infection (IAI) is one of the major challenges in orthopedic surgery. The
development of implants with inherent antibacterial properties is an effective strategy to …

In this study, porous iron (Fe)–manganese (Mn) alloys with high porosity were successfully
prepared by sponge impregnation and sintering (SIS). The compositions of the porous Fe …

Abstract Iron–selenium (Fe–Se) alloys have potential as attractive biodegradable bone–
implant materials, given the antitumor properties of Se in cancer prevention and therapy …

In recent years, iron (Fe) based degradable metal is explored as an alternative to permanent
fracture fixation devices. In the present work, copper (Cu) is added in Fe-Mn system to …
