Antibacterial activity and corrosion resistance of Ta2O5 thin film and electrospun PCL/MgO-Ag nanofiber coatings on biodegradable Mg alloy implants

Biodegradable magnesium (Mg) alloys have drawn considerable attention for use in orthopedic implants, but their antibacterial activity and corrosion resistance still require improvement. In the present work, functional Ta2O5 (tantalum pentoxide) compact layers and PCL/MgO-Ag (poly (ε-caprolactone)/m...
