Summary:Magnesium shows promise as a material for temporary fixation, yet its rapid corrosion poses health risks due to metal ion release. To mitigate these concerns, a biofunctionalization approach involving dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD) compounds and Chlorella sp. biomass was employed via electrodeposition, silanization, and dip-coating. Surface characterization using XRD, FTIR, and SEM confirmed successful deposition and immobilization. Corrosion behavior was assessed through electrochemical, immersion, and atomic absorption tests, revealing improved resistance and reduced Mg2+ ion release. The coatings demonstrated significant enhancement in corrosion resistance, guarding against pitting and cracks. The findings suggest the potential of Mg/DCPD and Mg/DCPD/microalgae coatings in addressing corrosion-related risks in temporary fixation applications, promising improved biocompatibility and longevity for medical implants.
