Development of hybrid hierarchical coatings on Mg3Zn0.4Ca alloy for orthopaedic implants

A hybrid hierarchical coating (HHC) biodegradable system, consisting of a ceramic (PEO) and a biodegradable microporous polymeric (PLA or PCL) layers, was developed on Mg3Zn0.4Ca alloy and evaluated under quasi-in vivo conditions. The polymer top-coat was produced using the Breath Figures approach b...
