From: In vitro degradation of pure Mg in response to glucose
XPS analysis of a pure Mg surface after immersion in 0.9% NaCl solutions without and with glucose or mannitol for various periods.
(a,b) The entire range of the binding energy survey (a) and C 1s spectra (b) for sample surfaces after immersion in 0.9% NaCl solutions without and with glucose or mannitol for 2 h. (c,d) C 1s spectra of samples immersed in 0.9% NaCl solutions with mannitol (c) and with glucose (d) for different amounts of time. (e–j) curve fitting of C 1s spectra (e–g) and Mg 2p spectra (h–j) for samples after immersion in 0.9% NaCl solutions with no additive (e,h) and with 5.0% mannitol (f,i) and 5.0% glucose (g,j) for 2 h.
