Creep properties of biodegradable Zn-0.1Li alloy at human body temperature: implications for its durability as stents
This is the first report on creep properties of biodegradable zinc alloys at human body temperature. The extruded Zn-0.1Li (wt.%) alloy exhibits appreciable creep deformation at 37°C under stresses ranging 80–230 MPa within 500 h. The creep deformation at low stresses (80–155 MPa, about 0.4–0.8 yiel...
