Evaluating the morphology of the degradation layer of pure magnesium via 3D imaging at resolutions below 40 nm
Magnesium is attractive for the application as a temporary bone implant due to its inherent biodegradability, non-toxicity and suitable mechanical properties. The degradation process of magnesium in physiological environments is complex and is thought to be a diffusion-limited transport problem. We...
