Review on Zn-Based Alloys as Potential Biodegradable Medical Devices Materials

Abstract:

For the past few decades, metallic materials that progressively degrade in physiological environment have been receiving attention with aim of finding appropriate biodegradable implant materials. This review focus mechanical and biocorrosion properties of Zn-based alloys that were recently investigated are summarized and discussed. In addition, the strategy for future fabrication to enhance the prospect of these alloys as metallic biodegradable materials is suggested.
