Abstract
The ability to modify surface properties to achieve enhanced corrosion resistance and biocompatibility while retaining the bulk properties of materials is the unique advantage of surface modification methods. This chapter addresses the role of various methods available for engineering the surface of magnesium and its alloys toward the development of degradable biomaterials, with a focus on their opportunities and limitations.
