Biodegradable Mg Strengthened Poly-Lactic Acid Composite through Interfacial Properties

Article Preview

Abstract:

High-strength magnesium alloy (AZ31) reinforced poly-lactic acid (PLA) composite rods for potential application of bone fracture fixation prepared by plastic injection process on Mg rod.Thecomposities possess improved the interfacial bonding between poly-lactic acid and Mg rod due to the micro-anchoring which lead to better mechanical performance in Simulated body fluid solution.The present results indicated that this new PLA-clad Mg composite rods show good potential for biomedical applications.
