Albumin Protein Impact on Early-Stage In Vitro Biodegradation of Magnesium Alloy (WE43)

Mg and its alloys are promising biodegradable materials for orthopedic implants and cardiovascular stents. The first interactions of protein molecules with Mg alloy surfaces have a substantial impact on their biocompatibility and biodegradation. We investigate the early-stage electrochemical, chemical, morphological, and electrical surface...

Challenges and Strategies for Optimizing Corrosion and Biodegradation Stability of Biomedical Micro- and Nanoswimmers: A Review

The last two decades have witnessed the emergence of micro- and nanoswimmers (MNSs). Researchers have invested significant efforts in engineering motile micro- and nanodevices to address current limitations in minimally invasive medicine. MNSs can move through complex fluid media by using chemical fuels or external energy sources such as...

The effect of time evolution and timing of the electrochemical data recording of corrosion inhibitor protection of hot-dip galvanized steel

In previous work, the importance of taking the time-domain into account when studying corrosion inhibitor-containing electrochemical systems was highlighted. In this work, odd random phase electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (ORP-EIS) is applied as the electrochemical tool to study the time-effect by the evaluation of the non...
