Abstract

Porous modified Mg foam surface with functional properties is proposed as a platform for local drug release at the target. In particular, MgO coatings were prepared on the magnesium foams surfaces by an anodic electrodeposition process in concentrated 10M KOH solution followed by heat treatment in air. The corrosion behavior of the MgO-coated samples was evaluated by electrochemical measurements and immersion tests in 0.9 % NaCl solution. The experimental results show that the MgO-coated Mg foams show higher stability and lower corrosion rate, and thus enabled to improve the corrosion resistance, whereas the bare Mg foams suffered from severely localized corrosion attack.
