Journal Article
Wadge, M. D., McGuire, J., Hanby, B. V., Felfel, R. M., Ahmed, I., & Grant, D. M. (2021). Tailoring the degradation rate of magnesium through biomedical nano-porous titanate coatings. Journal of Magnesium and Alloys, 9(1), 336-350. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jma.2020.07.001

A novel approach was developed to reduce the corrosion rate of magnesium (Mg) metal, utilising titanate coatings. Magnetron sputtering was used to deposit ca. 500 nm titanium (Ti) coatings onto pure Mg discs, followed by hydrothermal conversion and i...

In recent years, it has been found that small weight percent additions of silicon to HA can be used to enhance the initial response between bone tissue and HA. A large amount of research has been concerned with bulk materials, however, only recently...

© 2020 The Authors Titanate structures have been widely investigated as biomedical component surfaces due to their bioactive, osteoinductive and antibacterial properties. However, these surfaces are limited to Ti and its alloys, due to the nature of...
