\textit{In vitro} decomposition study of coated magnesium alloys

POSTER

Abstract

In the last decade, magnesium has resurged as an important biomaterial. It's mechanical properties are very similar to natural bone, and it degrades in vivo to non toxic substances. Unfortunately, corrosion of pure magnesium \textit{in vivo} is rapid, thus coated alloys that decrease it's corrosion could be used as implants in orthopedics. This presentation will describe the degradation results in a simulated body fluid (SBF).
