Abstract

Owing to the advantages of magnesium as a biomaterial, study on synthesis of magnesium materials is of prime importance. This chapter introduces potential synthesis techniques for synthesizing both impermeable and porous magnesium-based biomaterials. Primary processing of magnesium-based materials (alloys and composites) can be classified into liquid-state and solid-state processes. The advantages and disadvantages of synthesis techniques are presented and discussed. Even though there are many synthesizing methodologies for magnesium-based alloys and composites, very few were adopted for synthesizing biomaterials, especially porous magnesium materials. Recent technology advancements enable the researchers and engineers to synthesize homogeneous magnesium alloys and composites utilizing high-purity raw materials and continuously strive to achieve repeatability of material properties at all times.
