Magnesium bio-materials are biodegradable metals for implantable applications, with density and elastic modulus close to bone. Corrosion-controlled resorption, alloy design, surface coatings and control of hydrogen evolution are key research areas. The aim is timely load transfer followed by safe dissolution without toxic by-products.
