“…The film gradually transforms into soluble MgCl 2 which can be observed from Figure a, thus accelerating hydrogen evolution (Cao, Song, & Atrens, ; Thomas, Medhekar, Frankel, & Birbilis, ). During in vivo degradation process, Mg(OH) 2 is one of the most common degradation products, along with MgO and hydroxyapatite (HA; Bornapour, Muja, Shum‐Tim, Cerruti, & Pekguleryuz, ; Li, Gu, Lou, & Zheng, ; Shi et al, ; Tie et al, ; Wang et al, ; Yu, Lu, & Sun, ). The modified layer, composed of these corrosion byproducts, can slows down the degradation of the Mg implants in vivo (Bornapour et al, ; Wang, Liu, et al, ; Yu et al, ).…”
