Density functional study of coating on magnesium implants

Poster (konferens), 2025

Orthopedic implants are commonly made from metals such as titanium and stainless steel, but their stiffness can cause stress shielding and sometimes require removal as they are not biodegradable. An alternative is biodegradable magnesium (Mg) implants if the rapid corrosion of Mg can be impeded. We study coating of Mg surfaces using density functional theory (DFT).
