This work also discusses the direction in which current Magnesium biomaterial development is heading and the necessary steps for future development of this field. Information is drawn from numerous multi-disciplinary sources to provide a coherent and critical overview. Magnesium Biomaterials is ideal for researchers in the area of bio-Mg, companies interested in exploring their own alloys, and for researchers working with other biodegradable materials who are seeking a cross-platform understanding of material performance.SpringerBriefs in materials.Biomedical materialsMagnesiumBiomedical materials.Magnesium.610.28Kirkland Nicholas Travisauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1061541Birbilis NickMiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910298653503321Magnesium Biomaterials2519107UNINA
