Tailoring the degradation rate of magnesium through biomedical nano-porous titanate coatings

A novel approach was developed to reduce the corrosion rate of magnesium (Mg) metal, utilising titanate coatings. Magnetron sputtering was used to deposit ca. 500 nm titanium (Ti) coatings onto pure Mg discs, followed by hydrothermal conversion and ion exchange reactions to produce sodium and calciu...
