Abstract:Biodegradable materials, especially Mg alloys, have an
exceptional
advantage over nonbiodegradable materials in orthopedic applications,
such as avoiding second surgery for removal/replacement, stress shielding,
but not enough mechanical strength, and so forth. By further improving
the Mg alloy to get all the remaining required properties, it can
be used for better biodegradable implants, which depend adequately
on material optimization, processing, and so forth. A Mg-Zn-Ca-Sr/ZrO2 composite has been prepared … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
