Biodegradable magnesium (Mg)-based vascular stents can overcome the limitations of conventional permanent metallic stents, such as late in-stent restenosis and thrombosis, but still have difficulty retarding degradation while providing adequate mechanical support to the blood vessel. We incorporated silica nanoparticles surface-functionalized with hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (mSiNP) into a poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) coating as a physical barrier to disturb the penetration of the corrosive medium as well as a bioactive source that releases silicon ions capable of stimulating endothelial cells. The corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of this bifunctional PLLA/mSiNP nanocomposite coatings were investigated using different weight ratios of mSiNP. The nanocomposite coating containing more than 10 wt% of the mSiNP (PLLA/10mSiNP and PLLA/20mSiNP) significantly delayed the corrosion of the Mg substrate …
