Study on the corrosion resistance and antibacterial properties of magnesium alloy MAO polylactic acid coating in simulated body fluid

Key Points

• Corrosion resistance and antibacterial properties of the magnesium alloy coating were observed to improve significantly.
• Magnesium alloy with polylactic acid coating showed a notable reduction in corrosion rate, measuring 0.02 mm/year.
• Assessment using simulated body fluid highlights important features of the coating's performance under biological conditions.
• Implications suggest potential for enhanced implant materials, needing further investigation in clinical contexts.
