Abstract
Strong, ductile, lightweight, biocompatible and non-toxic materials are the need of the hour for metal-based industries such as aerospace, automotive, electronics and biomedical sectors. Magnesium -based materials, due to their lightweight, excellent dimensional stability and mechanical integrity, have a tremendous potential to replace the existing commercial Al, Ti alloys and steels currently being used. Due to these attractive qualities of magnesium , there has been a spurt in the quest of a variety of magnesium materials targeting different functionalities. One subset of magnesium -based materials is magnesium alloy-based nanocomposites that exhibit advantages of both magnesium alloys and magnesium nanocomposites . There has been advancement in this field through careful selection of alloying elements and reinforcement and optimization to obtain the best combination of properties . Accordingly, this paper will focus on the recent developments of magnesium alloy-based nanocomposites capable of replacing conventional materials in multiple engineering and biomedical applications.
