  • Preparation method of dual layered coatings on magnesium alloys with fluorine/polycaprolactone for biomedical applications
    Patent number: 10781521
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing a dual-layer magnesium alloy with fluoride and biopolymer coatings, wherein the dual-layer MgF2/PCL coating exhibits improved corrosion resistance as compared to fluoride-coated samples or uncoated Mg samples, and has excellent cell viability, cell adhesion and cell proliferation. Accordingly, the magnesium alloy provided with the dual MgF2/PCL coating layer controls corrosion degradation of conventional orthopedic Mg alloys and exhibits excellent biocompatibility, thus being useful as an implant for fixing bones.
