Fabrication and characterization of biodegradable Mg-Zn-Y-Nd-Ag alloy: Microstructure, mechanical properties, corrosion behavior and antibacterial activities

Magnesium (Mg), a potential biodegradable material, has drawn wide attention in the bone reconstruction field. However, Mg alloys, served as the bone graft substitution, remain a clinical challenge, the antibacterial activity of which is required to be enhanced. Here, we prepared biodegradable magne...
