| Abstract Scope |
Zinc (Zn) alloys are promising biodegradable materials for bone tissue engineering, but their degradation behavior varies with the physiological environment. This study investigates the degradation performance of Zn-based alloys in different simulated body fluids. The degradation rate was analyzed to assess their behavior under varying conditions. Results show that the type of solution significantly affects degradation, with some media accelerating corrosion. Differences in surface layer formation also influenced the protective properties of the alloys. These findings are crucial for predicting in vivo performance and guiding the design of Zn-based implants for improved reliability and safety in biomedical applications. |
