Fig. 6: Cross sectional analysis on degradation behavior of implants.
From: Alloying design of biodegradable zinc as promising bone implants for load-bearing applications
a Cross sectional images of implants. Scale bar, 0.5 mm. b Magnification of red rectangles in a with representative bone-implant interface and corresponding elemental mappings. NB: new bone; DP: degradation products; M: matrix. Scale bar, 50 μm. c Chemical compositions of marked regions in b (n values are shown in the figures, independent samples). For box-whisker plots, box edges correspond to 25th and 75th percentiles, lines inside the box correspond to 50th percentiles, and whiskers include minimum and maximum of all data points. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
