My research focuses on exploring magnesium alloys for use in biodegradable biomedical implants. Magnesium, due to its favorable mechanical properties and biodegradability, offers a promising alternative to traditional metallic implants, particularly for orthopedic applications. I am specifically investigating various magnesium alloys, with a focus on ZK60, which contains zinc and magnesium—both of which are biodegradable and eliminate the need for secondary surgery for implant removal.

A critical aspect of my work is the corrosion study of magnesium alloys. The aim is to enhance the corrosion resistance of these alloys to prolong their lifespan until the bone has fully healed, ensuring the structural integrity of the implant throughout the healing process. 

Additionally, I am working on developing biodegradable coatings for these magnesium alloys, which will be composed of synthetic polymers. These coatings will not only provide further control over the corrosion rate but also serve as a platform for drug or growth factor delivery. 

To strengthen the validity of my findings, I am integrating in-silico data with in-vitro experimental results. The in-silico models will simulate the interactions between the alloy, polymer coatings, and the surrounding simulated body fluid. 

Ultimately, my research aims to contribute to the development of safer, more effective biodegradable implants that support bone regeneration and reduce the need for invasive follow-up surgeries.
