    Abstract

    As a good biodegradable medical alloy material, magnesium alloy has been widely used in orthopedic surgery. However to prevent the too fast corrosion of magnesium alloy is still the key to expand the application of magnesium alloy. So it is urgent and important to control the corrosion performance of magnesium alloy. We designed a coating system controlled by light-stimuli rather than other stimulating signals[1,2] that accelerates the rate of corrosion behavior. The smart coating is synthesized by photoacid generator (PAG)[3]/Poly (lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA)[4]. The PAG plays an intelligent adjustable factor in this system.
