Metastable FeMg particles for controlling degradation rate, mechanical properties, and biocompatibility of Poly(l-lactic) acid (PLLA) for orthopedic applications

Poly(l-lactic) acid (PLLA) is commonly used in bioabsorbable medical implants, but it suffers from slow degradation rate and rapid decline in mechanical properties for orthopedic applications. To address this drawback, recent research has explored the use of Mg as a filler for PLLA, resulting in com...
