An in-situ magnesium hydroxide nanosheet layer modified magnesium alloy and preparation and application thereof

Abstract

The present invention relates to a magnesium alloy material, which is an in situ magnesium hydroxide nanosheet layer modified magnesium alloy. The material is prepared from a magnesium alloy through a hydrothermal reaction under alkaline condition. The protective effect of the in situ formed magnesium hydroxide nanosheet layer structure results in remarkably enhanced corrosion resistance of the magnesium alloy, meanwhile the biocompatibility can also be significantly improved since the release rate of magnesium ion can be significantly reduced. In addition, the two-dimensional nanolayer structure has a non-releasing physical antibacterial property depending on contact. Therefore, the magnesium alloy material according to the present invention has an extremely great application prospect in the field of medical implant.
