Enhancement of corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of Mg–1.2Ca–2Bi via a hybrid silicon-biopolymer coating system
In this work, a hybrid dual layer surface coating consisting of a silicon (Si) underlayer and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) overlayer was investigated that was designed to reduce the corrosion rates of magnesium-based biomaterials. The Si underlayer was 1.2 μm thick and composed of spherical nanopartic...
