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. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in materials. 606 $aBiomedical materials 606 $aMagnesium 615 0$aBiomedical materials. 615 0$aMagnesium. 676 $a610.28 700 $aKirkland$b Nicholas Travis$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01061541 702 $aBirbilis$b Nick 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298653503321 996 $aMagnesium Biomaterials$92519107 997 $aUNINA
