Abstract
Current research for degradable magnesium implants has shown a multitude of potential applications for these materials. Within various studies, the research focuses especially on Mg alloys’ biocompatibility and also its mechanical and corrosive behaviour in in vitro/in vivo environments. In particular, the corrosive properties of Mg alloys often remain problematic, showing either a rapid or a burst degradation, limiting their applicability. Besides changing the alloy, a magnesium implant’s initial corrosion properties can be improved and controllable by means of applied coatings. In general, a multitude of coating solutions (e.g. on basis of phosphates or degradable polymers) are already available for permanent implants. If these are applicable to Mg, the next step requires that they delay corrosion and inhibit burst corrosion. In this study, the applicability and corrosion-delaying properties of PLA and MgF2 coatings on the magnesium alloy LANd442, respecting their singular and combined application, is shown. By means of corrosion tests in a simulated body fluid the use of combined coatings was proven to be advantageous regarding longevity and toughness of the coating system.
