Biodegradable metals (BMs) gradually degrade in vivo by releasing corrosion products once
exposed to the physiological environment in the body. Complete dissolution of …

Zinc has been identified as one of the most promising biodegradable metals along with
magnesium and iron. Zinc appears to address some of the core engineering problems …

Zinc (Zn)-based biodegradable materials show moderate degradation rates in comparison
with other biodegradable materials (Fe and Mg). Biocompatibility and non-toxicity also make …

Zn is considered as a promising degradable biomaterial. However, concerns exist for its
application as the degradation mechanism of pure Zn in physiological solutions is still not …

Abstract A novel Zn-3Ag-0.5 Mg alloy was plastically deformed using 3 processing paths: hot
extrusion (HE), HE followed by cold rolling (CR) and high-pressure torsion (HPT). The …

Zinc shows promise for bone repair applications, while its strength and ductility require to be
improved. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are exceptional reinforcements due to their superior …

This work investigated the influence of Sn and Mo on corrosion behavior of ferrite-pearlite
steel in the simulated bottom plate environment of cargo oil tank. The results indicate that the …

The growth of eutectic colonies in Sn–Cu, Sn–Zn and Sn–Ag–Cu eutectic alloys has already
been reported in the literature. However, relationships between this kind of microstructure …

Bi-Zn solder alloys with different Zn contents (1.5, 2.7 and 5wt-%) were prepared by casting
and the correlation between the microstructure and corrosion behaviour by mean of direct …

Recent advancements in research on biodegradable zinc necessitate thorough in vitro
cytotoxicity screening as the developed materials are being proposed for various medical …
