SURFACE MODIFICATION OF MAGNESIUM ALLOYS FOR HARD TISSUE APPLICATIONS

iodegradable implants have been extensively studied for hard tissue regeneration. Magnesium seems as a

potential candidate due to its unique combination of bone-like mechanical properties and being degrad-

able in vivo. However, the rapid corrosion of magnesium and its alloys in physiological environment limits their

clinical applications. Alloying and Surface coatings are the reliable ways to improve corrosion resistance by

preventing its contact with the environment. The present paper details the state of the art in coating and sur-

face modification technologies, applied to magnesium alloys for improved corrosion resistance and biocom-

patibility. The efficiency of single layered bioactive ceramic based coatings and dual layered ceramic-polymer

based coatings are studied in this regard. The morphology, phase, chemical composition, wettability and per-

formance in terms of in-vitro corrosion and biocompatibility using pre-osteoblast MC3T3 cells were discussed

and compared with uncoated samples. In-vivo performance using rabbit model was also evaluated for the

coatings with respect to magnesium substrate.
