BIOMIMETIC COATING OF MAGNESIUM ALLOY FOR ENHANCED CORROSION RESISTANCE AND CALCIUM PHOSPHATE DEPOSITION

摘要

The invention relates to biomimetic peptide-containing compositions for use, in particular, for application and or deposition on a magnesium alloy, e.g., substrate, to at least partially coat a surface of the magnesium alloy. The invention also relates to the coated magnesium alloy which is particularly useful for tissue and bone repair and regeneration applications, such as, for constructing medical implant devices.
