Effect of Hydrothermal (Sr)-Hydroxyapatite Coatings on the Corrosion Resistance and Mg<sup>2+</sup> Ion Release to Enhance Osteoblastic Cell Responses of AZ91D Alloy

The biomedical applications of Mg-based alloys are limited by their rapid corrosion rate in the body fluid. In this study, the hydrothermal synthesis is employed to produce protective bioactive hydroxyapatite coating (HAC) and strontium-substituted hydroxyapatite coating (Sr-HAC) to further enhance...
