Magnesium and its alloys has low density and high biocompatibility. Due to its high degradation rate, Mg alloys are coated to improve its properties. The aim of this project is to investigate the corrosion resistance poly(e-caprolactone)/hydroxyapatite (PCL/xHA) coating on magnesium by dip coating. The concentration of hydroxyapatite (HA) was set as the various concentration parameters (x = 0, 5, 10 and 15wt%) in order to investigate and determine the optimum concentration of poly(e-caprolactone)/hydroxyapatite (PCL/xHA) coating on magnesium. All samples were characterized by using scanning electron microscope (SEM), Energy � Dispersive X-ray Spectrometer (EDS), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-Ray diffractometer (XRD). Three types of corrosion tests were carried out in order to determine the corrosion behavior of the specimens, namely immersion test and Potentiodynamic Polarization Test and pH evaluation. All the tests were performed in simulated body fluid (SBF) solution to initiate the body environment. Immersion test was carried out for 7 days. From the analysis, it shows that specimen coated with 100% PCL on Mg substrate has the highest corrosion resistance compared to other specimens. Presence of corrosion product Mg(OH)2 on specimens were confirmed by EDS and element mapping analysis. Aggressive chloride ion in SBF solution reacted with the dissolution of Mg and formed a more soluble MgCl2. shafika UTM 90 p.
