Preface
Biomaterials are natural or modified natural materials which are constantly in contact with a biological system. They continuously interact with the system and perform certain defined functions to enhance system life, quality and functionality. Both porous and impermeable biomaterials assist in replacement or repair of soft and hard tissues such as bones, cartilages, blood vessels and even entire organs. The desire for human beings to live longer, their higher expectations and the ever growing population has increased the demand for biomaterials and has made researchers to focus more on synthesizing new biomaterials which can perform its intended functions with minimal and acceptable reactions within human body. Investigating on new degradable metallic implants is one of the new interesting research areas of biomaterial science. Magnesium is t
