Appropriately adapted properties of hot-extruded Zn–0.5Cu–xFe alloys aimed for biodegradable guided bone regeneration membrane application

Appropriately adapted comprehensive mechanical properties, degradation behavior and biocompatibility are prerequisites for the application of Zn-based biodegradable implants. In this study, hot-extruded Zn–0.5Cu–xFe (x = 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 wt%) alloys were fabricated as candidates for biodegradable ma...
