Improved corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of biomedical magnesium alloy with polypeptide TK14 functionalised hydrophobic coating

Abstract Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys can be used as biomedical materials because of their excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility. However, the rapid degradation rate of Mg‐based materials limits their application in biodegradable intravascular stents. To overcome this issue, we const...
