Biodegradation and mechanical behavior of an advanced bioceramic-containing Mg matrix composite synthesized through in-situ solid-state oxidation

Recent studies have shown great potential of Mg matrix composites for biodegradable orthopedic devices. However, the poor structural integrity of these composites, which results in excessive localized corrosion and premature mechanical failure, has hindered their widespread applications. In this research, an in-situ Powder Metallurgy (PM)...

Improvement of mechanical performance of bioresorbable magnesium alloy coronary artery stents through stent pattern redesign

Optimized stent pattern design can effectively enhance the mechanical performance of magnesium alloy stents by adjusting strain distribution and evolution during stent deformation, thereby overcoming the limitations imposed by the intrinsic mechanical properties of magnesium alloys. In the present study, a new stent design pattern for...
