Development and characterization of biodegradable Fe-base...
Schinhammer, Michael
Iron and its alloys are currently evaluated for use as biodegradable materials for temporary medical implants. The concept of a metallic implant that degrades within the human body has become increasingly accepted in recent years. If the material degraded in the body while the tissue recovered implant removal would become obsolete. Fe is a promising candidate as a degradable implant material. This work develops a design strategy which takes in...
