Abstract
The Zn0.6Cu wires are fabricated into stents for the potential biodegradable application of nasal wound healing. The degradation behavior of Zn0.6Cu stents in 0.9 wt% NaCl at 36.5 °C is evaluated. It shows that the untreated Zn0.6Cu stent experiences severe crevice corrosion with acceleration and autocatalytic effects within the micro-cracks and ruptures at 4.67 ± 1.15 d, with the average corrosion rate of 0.28 mm y−1. Fortunately, the anodic polarization (AP) + hydrothermal (H) conversion coating, consisting of ZnCO3, Zn(OH)2 and ZnO, could inhibit the crevice corrosion significantly by reducing the cathode/anode ratio, extending the rupture time up to 16.50 ± 2.95 d, with the average corrosion rate of 0.14 mm y−1. This research indicates that the biodegradable Zn-based stent has some potential applications in nasal wound recovery area.
