Development and assessment of a multifunctional chitosan-based coating applied on AZ31 magnesium alloy: Corrosion resistance and antibacterial performance against Klebsiella Pneumoniae

This work presents a simple method to functionalise the surface of AZ31 magnesium alloy by applying a duplex MgF2/chitosan coating, which improves its corrosion resistance and provides it with some antibacterial performance. First, the effect of three chitosan solutions with different concentrations...
