The present research was aimed at developing magnesium-matrix composites that could allow effective control over their physiochemical and mechanical responses when in contact with physiological solutions. A biodegradable, bioactive ceramic - bredigite was chosen as the reinforcing phase in the composites, based on the hypothesis that the silicon- and magnesium-containing ceramic could protect magnesium from fast corrosion and at the same time stimulate cell proliferation. Methods to prepare composites with integrated microstructures - a prerequisite to achieve controlled biodegradation were developed.

In our previous study, we developed Mg-matrix composites with bredigite as the reinforcing phase and achieved improved degradation resistance in comparison with Mg. However, the effects of materials processing method and process parameters on the mechanical behavior of the composites before and during degradation were still unknown. This research was aimed at determining the mechanical properties of Mg-bredigite composites prior to and during degradation.
