The influence of Ca and Cu additions on the microstructure, mechanical and degradation properties of Zn–Ca–Cu alloys for absorbable wound closure device applications

Novel ternary Zn–Ca–Cu alloys were studied for the development of absorbable wound closure device material due to Ca and Cu's therapeutic values to wound healing. The influence of Ca and Cu on the microstructure, mechanical and degradation properties of Zn were investigated in the as-cast state...
