Development of advanced biodegradable and bioactive coatings for Mg alloys

The objective of this research is the development of a bioadaptive coating system on Mg-alloys. The top layer of the coating system will be a polymer-inorganic phase composite. The interaction of the layers with the electrolyte, proteins and cells will be investigated and the effect of the coatings on the corrosion process, including the adhesion to the substrates, will be analysed.
