In this study, a biodegradable Mg/HA/TiO2nanocomposite was prepared using a milling-pressing-sintering powder metallurgy technique. The combined effects of hydroxyapatite (HA) and titania (TiO2) on the corrosion behavior of pure Mg were investigated via in�vitro immersion and electrochemical tests...
