Enhanced Mechanical Properties and Corrosion Behavior of Biodegradable Mg-Zn/HA Composite

Abstract: Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys have shown potential for use in the biomedical industry due to their excellent biological performance and biodegradability in the bioenvironment. Thus, the aim of the present study was to develop a reliable biodegradable hard tissue substituent. Biodegradable and bioactive Mg-Zinc (Zn) reinforced by hydroxyapatite (HA) composite was prepared using mechanically alloyed Mg-6.5 wt pct Zn and pure HA powders as starting materials. Various HA contents (i.e., 5, 10, 15, and 20 wt pct) w… Show more

“…According to our knowledge, only one study concerning Zn/HA composites has been published [23]. Until now, zinc was predominantly used as a part of Mg/HA composites [36,37], of HA/Zn coatings [38,39] or of composites with a hydroxyapatite matrix [40,41].…”

“…Furthermore, the lower the crystallization size, the greater the development of the protective layer associated with higher nucleation positions at the grain boundaries. The corrosion potential of Mg-5.6Zn/xHA is -1.46 V, and it is shifting in a direction that is more representative of higher corrosion resistance [33].…”

“…The observed increase in the mechanical properties of the alloy after Ake addition agrees well with some previous research on biocermets, e.g., Fe−β-TCP, 32 Mg−bredigite, 61,62 and Mg−Zn−HA. 63,64 Second-phase reinforcement is a wellknown strengthening mechanism in composites, with the "rule of mixtures" providing the means to estimate the theoretical properties of a combination of materials. In this case, the hard Ake bioceramic particles acted as the reinforcement phase in the Fe35Mn matrix.…”
