To address the clinical needs for biodegradable implant materials, in this work, zinc-lithium (Zn-Li) alloy was coated with double-doped manganese and strontium resorbable tricalcium phosphate (Mn,Sr-TCP). The Pulsed Laser Deposition method applied coating preparation. For characterization, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy coupled Energy D...

Since the use of PEG-coated pellets for the first oral sustainedrelease formulation in 1952, coated pellets have been used extensively to control the drug release kinetics. The term “pellet” has been used interchangeably with other terms, such as bead, sphere, granule, and particle. A large number of drug products have been available to patients. Despite extensive use of the coated pellets, the...

Magnesium (Mg) alloys have significant potential for use as bioresorbable orthopaedic implant devices due to their controllable mechanical properties and an ability promote new bone growth. However, difficulty lies with controlling the rate of corrosion in physiological conditions ensure load-bearing capability device is maintained required period time, specifically until adequate quantity tiss...
