Wear and friction are two unavoidable failures in mechanical systems with moving
components. Hence, the invention of new materials to curtail material losses and frictional …

High entropy alloys (HEAs) for the first time were reported in 2004, however, the progress in
this field was markedly realized since 2010 when a drastic upsurging demand of HEAs was …

With a suitable degradation rate, fully bioresorbable degradation products, and excellent
biocompatibility, Zn and its alloys are regarded as the most promising biodegradable …

Zinc based biodegradable metals (BMs) show great potential to be used in various
biomedical applications, owing to their superior biodegradability and biocompatibility. Some …

High alloying elements effectively strengthen zinc alloys, but these elements also usually
decrease the ductility and corrosion resistance of such alloys. In the present study, energy …

Zn–Ag alloys are promising biodegradable materials for clinical applications, but their
mechanical properties are below the application requirements. In this work, a high-strength …

Biodegradable stents can support vessels for an extended period, maintain vascular
patency, and progressively degrade once vascular remodeling is completed, thereby …

Zinc alloys have great potential to become a new generation of biodegradable implant
materials for biomedical applications due to their moderate corrosion rates. However, the …

In this work, a bimodal grain structured Zn-0.4 Mg-0.02 Mn alloy with superior strength-
ductility synergy was successfully prepared by combined equal channel angular pressing …

Zn alloys reveal excellent biological degradability and compatibility, suitable mechanical
properties, and unique anti-atherosclerotic properties, which make them suited for …
