This study is about the degradation and bioactivity behaviour of magnesium foils, which allegorize dental membranes. The degradation behaviour including pitting corrosion during immersion tests can be precisely observed using micro-computed tomography. Using the bioactivity test according to Kokubo, it is shown that magnesium has strong Ca-phosphate layer formation correlated with high degradation. Therefore, magnesium foils appear to hold a great potential for bone implant application.}, language = {en} } @article{HornbergerKisselStriegletal., author = {Hornberger, Helga and Kissel, Hannah and Striegl, Birgit and Kronseder, Matthias and Vollnhals, Florian and Christiansen, Silke H.}, title = {Bioactivity and corrosion behavior of magnesium barrier membranes}, series = {Materials and Corrosion}, volume = {73}, journal = {Materials and Corrosion}, number = {1}, publisher = {Wiley}, doi = {10.1002/maco.202112385}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:898-opus4-24499}, pages = {8 -- 19}, abstract = {In the current research, magnesium and its alloys have been intensively studied as resorbable implant materials. Magnesium materials combine their good mechanical properties with bioactivity, which make them interesting for guided bone regeneration and for the application as barrier membranes. In this study, the in vitro degradation behavior of thin magnesium films was investigated in cell medium and simulated body fluid. Three methods were applied to evaluate corrosion rates: measurements of (i) the gaseous volume evolved during immersion, (ii) volume change after immersion, and (iii) polarization curves. In this comparison, measurements of H2 development in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium showed to be the most appropriate method, exhibiting a corrosion rate of 0.5 mm·year-1. Observed oxide and carbon contamination have a high impact on controlled degradation, suggesting that surface treatment of thin foils is necessary. The bioactivity test showed positive results; more detailed tests in this area are of interest.}, language = {en} }
