Abstract

Iron and magnesium are being considered as promising candidates for biodegradable materials in medical applications, both materials having their specific advantages and challenges. A hybrid of metallic iron and magnesium in a layered composite is studied in the present work, to combine the merits of both metals. A single-step dip-coating method was employed to prepare the layered composite material. Morphology, composition, crystal structure and corrosion behavior of the Mg/Fe sheet were assessed by SEM, EDX, XRD, and electrochemical measurements. The Mg/Fe layered composite sheet is composed of the magnesium substrate, a 1-2 mu m metallic iron coating, and a pompon-like Mg(OH)(2)/MgO top layer. Long-term open-circuit potential measurements revealed that the Mg/Fe sheet samples exhibit a "self-healing" effect in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium.
