On the biodegradability, mechanical behavior, and cytocompatibility of amorphous Mg72Zn23Ca5and crystalline Mg70Zn23Ca5Pd2alloys as temporary implant materials
Eva Pellicer,Sergio González,Andreu Blanquer,S Suriñach,Maria Dolores Baró,Lleonard Barrios,Elena Ibáñez,Carme Nogués,Jordi Sort +8 more
TL;DR: Cytocompatibility studies reveal that neither Mg(72) Zn(23) Ca(5) nor Mg (70) ZN(23] Ca( 5) Pd(2) are cytotoxic, although preosteoblast cell adhesion is to some extent precluded, particularly onto the surface of Mg(-70) zn-free alloy, because of the relatively high hydrophobicity.

TL;DR: Nanostructured Ti-310Fe-90Sn and sub-micrometer structured Ti-393Nb-133Zr-107Ta (wt%) β-type alloys, exhibiting different microstructures and dissimilar mechanical properties, have been prepared by copper mold casting as mentioned in this paper.

Nucleation of shear bands in amorphous alloys
TL;DR: The operation of a bimodal distribution of the first pop-in loads that are associated with different shear band nucleation sites that operate at different stress levels below the glass transition temperature, Tg.

Antibacterial Metallic Touch Surfaces.
TL;DR: The aim is to present a comprehensive review of the development of modern antibacterial metallic materials as touch surfaces in healthcare settings, comparing Japanese, European and US standards for the assessment of antimicrobial activity.
Improved mechanical performance and delayed corrosion phenomena in biodegradable Mg–Zn–Ca alloys through Pd-alloying
Sergio González,Eva Pellicer,Jordina Fornell,Andreu Blanquer,Leonardo Barrios,Elena Ibáñez,P. Solsona,Santiago Suriñach,Maria Dolors Baró,Carme Nogués,Jordi Sort +10 more
TL;DR: Corrosion tests in a simulated body fluid indicate that Pd causes a shift in the corrosion potential towards more positive values, thus delaying the biodegradability of this alloy.
