Anticorrosion Hydroxyapatite-Containing Coatings for the Functionalization of Bioresorbable Magnesium Alloys
摘要
A biocompatible protective coating is formed by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) on the bioresorbable Mg–0.8Ca magnesium alloy. The electrochemical properties and bioresorption mechanism are established for the material, suggesting a model for the process of biodegradation in the alloy with a hydroxyapatite-containing PEO coating in the cultivation medium of mammalian cells.
