Abstract:
Bio-degradable metals and alloys have been suggested as revolutionary potential materials for bone-related treatment. Of these materials, the AZ91 magnesium alloy (AZ91 Mg alloy) emerges as an attractive candidate due to its non-toxicity and outstanding mechanical properties. Even though magnesium alloys are widely studied as orthopedic implants for bone replacement and bone regeneration, their undesirable rapid corrosion rate under physiological conditions has limited their actual clinical applications. Therefore, increasing the corrosion resistance of the AZ91 Mg alloy is one of the key issues to address for the development of bio-degradable implants. In this study, a cerium oxide (CeO2) coating is developed on the AZ91 Mg alloy by electrodeposition with a view of minimizing its corrosion rate during the bone healing period. Further, to improve the clinical application of AZ91 Mg alloy, manganese (Mn) and strontium (Sr) substituted hydroxyapatite (Mn, Sr-HAP) coatings were developed on the CeO2 coated AZ91 Mg alloy. Hence, this study reports on the development of a Mn, Sr-HAP/CeO2 dual coating on the AZ91 Mg alloy to make it a suitable alternative material for orthopedic implants.

THE VISION
THE MISSION
ABOUT I-STEM
It has always been the basic tenet of the Government of India, in generously funding R&D efforts at academic institutions over the years, that facilities established through such support be made available to those needing them and qualified to make use of them for their own research work

However, this was never easy or straightforward for, among other reasons, there was no ready source of information of what facility was available and where. Thanks to the Web, it is much easier today to have a national and regional “inventory of resources”, so as to match users with the resources they need, and to do all this in an efficient and transparent manner.

This can lead to a leap in R&D productivity and greatly enhance the effectiveness of public investment. This is the motivation behind I-STEM.
