Enhancing the functionality of biodegradable Mg–Zn–Mn alloys using polylactic acid (PLA) coating for temporary implants

Researchers found that the functionality of Mg–Zn–Mn alloys can be enhanced by using PLA coating for temporary implants. Polylactic acid (PLA) was coated on biodegradable Mg–Zn–Mn alloys using a sol–gel coating technique for temporary implant applications. The presence of smooth, dense, crack-free PLA coating was evidenced using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and a scanning … Continue reading "Enhancing the functionality of biodegradable Mg–Zn–Mn alloys using polylactic acid (PLA) coating for temporary implants"
