Hybrid Multi-layered Coatings for Surface Functionalization of Magnesium alloys for biomedical applications

摘要

Our result show that coating Mg alloys with sol-gel formulations provide an efficient way to slow down their corrosion process without detrimental impact on fibroblast viability. However, cell proliferation is not favored. In this context, the successful subsequent coating by collagen should allow to overcome this issue and to extend our experiments to other relevant cells, such as osteoblasts.
