Monash research could transform how broken bones are treated, with the development of a special zinc-based dissolvable material that could replace the metal plates and screws typically used to hold ...

What are Biodegradable Metallic Materials? Biodegradable materials (BMs) have been a priority for temporary biomedical implants over the past twenty years. These materials, including magnesium, zinc, ...

Zinc aluminum (ZA) alloys are alloys with zinc as the base metal, with higher concentrations of aluminum when compared to traditional zinc alloys. Other metals that are present on these alloys are ...

Researchers at Michigan Tech are creating bioabsorbable stents with zinc and zinc alloys that could prove safer than current stent materials. Building better metallic stents to support weakened ...

Researchers have created intermetallic alloy nanoparticles of palladium and zinc with an alternating arrangement of zinc and palladium atoms. The intermetallic alloy is more corrosion-resistant than ...
