CORROSION, SURFACE MODIFICATION, AND BIOCOMPATIBILITY OF MG AND MG ALLOYS

摘要

This manuscript summarizes recent studies on the corrosion behavior of Mg and Mg alloys in simulated biological environments, as well as interactions between corroding Mg (alloy) surfaces and cells. The influence of different types of simulated body solutions on the corrosion behavior of Mg is discussed. The effects of different types of chemical surface treatments on cell adhesion and spreading is presented. Moreover, possible routes to further optimize the corrosion and the biological performance of Mg alloys by surface modification are discussed.
