Investigation of zinc-silver alloys as biodegradable metals for orthopedic applications
Biodegradable zinc (Zn) alloys are promising implant materials to restore bone defects in orthopedics. Adding silver (Ag) to Zn not only enhances its mechanical properties but also improves its antibacterial properties. However, the regular pattern of Ag composition on the properties of Zn-xAg alloy...
