Magnezyumun (%99.95) Biyobozunur Malzeme Olarak Kullanilma Potansiyeli

If screws and other fasteners to be used in bone trauma not requiring long-term treatment are made of biodegradable magnesium alloys, the negative side effects of metallic implants applied to growing children will be diminished. The purpose of this study was to measure the 30-h open circuit potential (OCP) of the corrosion mechanism of pure magnesium in synthetic body fluid (SBF) and to take in situ pH measurements during that time in order to establish the correlation between the two methods. The obtained data showed that the corrosion rate of the Mg(OH)2 layer formed over time on the surface of the working electrode was affected
