Abstract:Blood-contacting medical devices such as biodegradable
metallic
bone implant materials are expected to show excellent hemocompatibility
both in vitro and in vivo. Different
approaches are being studied and used to modify biomaterial surfaces
for enhanced biocompatibility and hemocompatibility. However, the
composition of degradable biomaterial must address several drawbacks
at once. Iron-reinforced zinc material was used as a metallic substrate
with improved mechanical properties when compared with those of pu… Show more
