Advances in layer-by-layer self-assembled coatings upon biodegradable magnesium alloys

Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys are considered as ideal biodegradable materials due to their excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility. In order to improve the surface properties to allow better adaptation to the surrounding tissue of the body, surface modification has played a significant role in satisfying multiple clinical requirements such as corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and antibacterial ability. Here, layer-by-layer...
