Most conventional orthopedic implant used for joint and bone fractures consist of metallic biomaterials with polycrystalline microstructures that exhibit high hardness, good corrosion resistance, excellent fatigue and wear resistance.Alternatively, to avoid post extraction of the implant, intensive efforts are being made in recent years to develop new classes of so called "biodegradable implant co...
