Enhancing mechanical strength, tribological properties, cytocompatibility, osteogenic differentiation, and antibacterial capacity of biodegradable Zn-5RE (RE = Nd, Y, and Ho) alloys for potential bone-implant application
Degradable zinc (Zn) based metals exhibit great promise as potential load-bearing bone-implant materials due to their suitable biodegradability, good fabricate-friendliness, biocompatibility, and favorable osteogenesis-promoting capacity. Nevertheless, most as-cast Zn-based metals display poor mecha...
