Abstract:Magnesium (Mg) alloys, a degradable material, have been
studied for medical applications due to their excellent mechanical
and chemical properties. However, their applications are limited by
rapid corrosion. In this work, stearic acid and sodium
stearate were used to treat the silane-induced calcium phosphate dihydrate
coating to improve its protection for the Mg alloy further without
changing the bone-like structure of calcium phosphate. The different
effects of stearic acid treatment and sodium stearate trea… Show more
