“…It is essential for human development, but its mechanical properties are below the minimum benchmark for a stent; however, Zn alone suffers from unacceptably low TS (120 MPa), [ 2 ] so alloying has been a common practice to increase its mechanical properties. Several papers have reported on Zn‐Mg, [ 73,74 ] Zn‐Al, [ 74 ] Zn‐Ag, [ 75 ] Zn‐Mg‐Ca, [ 73 ] Zn‐Li, [ 76,77 ] Zn‐1 X ( X = Mg, Ca, Sr), [ 78 ] and Zn‐Cu [ 79 ] alloys, but only few have surpassed the minimum benchmarks for mechanical stent acceptance. A comprehensive investigation was performed on binary Zn alloys with Ca, Mg, Mn, Cu, Fe, Sr, Ag, and Li, where results showed Li and Mg exhibited the highest strengthening effects.…”
