Biomedical Implant Corrosion Mitigation Through Surface Engineering

Modern biomedical implants have made a positive contribution to patient quality of life, but their eventual corrosion limits their longevity and efficacy. New developments in surface engineering techniques show promise in extending corrosion resistance in implants, and the development of biocompatible and biodegradable materials offers new opportunities in the development of implants. Beginning with an overview of corrosion mechanisms and current approaches to surface modification methods, this
