Welcome to join today’s Joint ESS – MAX IV Science Colloquium webcast, featuring Professor Regine Willumeit-Römer from theHelmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht, Germany.
Biodegradable magnesium implants: ready to use or fake news?
Magnesium and its alloys are a new class of loa- bearing metal implants because they degrade under physiological conditions. This amazing property offers significant advantages over classical, non-degrading implants which have to be removed upon the completion of the healing process. However, it is not easy to deal with Magnesium-based implant materials because the degradation in a biological environment is extremely complicated. This presentation will outline how close the interplay is between microstructure, material degradation and biological response and how nicely in situ synchrotron experiments can contribute to unravel the magic of magnesium.
