Abstract
- The degradation behavior of the porous titanium with entangled structure filled with biodegradable magnesium (p-Ti/Mg) in Hanks' solution was investigated. It was found that the p-Ti/Mg composite had higher strength than pure magnesium and porous titanium with entangled structure (p-Ti). Although the magnesium in p-Ti/Mg was completely dissolved in Hanks' solution after immersion for 104 h, the rest of the sample still maintained strength of about 86 MPa. Moreover, the produced porousness (due to magnesium-degradation) could provide channels for the ingrowth and transportation of bone cells. However, the high corrosion rate of p-Ti/Mg is still a problem when used as a candidate biomedical material, which needs further improvement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
