Funded Activity Summary

Biocompatible magnesium alloys with specific materials properties. This project aims to develop biocompatible magnesium alloys with highly desirable mechanical properties and degradation on demand, and the fundamental science to achieve the materials properties. Injured human bones often need biomaterials to restore function. This project’s magnesium biomaterials could change the biomaterials field by making implant removal surgery unnecessary, and avoiding the adverse tissue reactions and stress shielding typically associated with conventional implanting metals. The outcomes are expected to provide insights in designing biodegradable magnesium alloys and surface coating technology, and generate intellectual properties and advanced biomaterials that will benefit the Australian ageing population.
