Abstract
We report the fabrication and properties of zinc-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs). The formation mechanism of the BMGs is also discussed. The combination properties of high corrosion resistance, low glass transition temperature Tg and high formability, low Young's modulus and density, low cost, harmless components to organisms and tunable degradation behavior make the Zn-based metallic glasses or metallic plastics (MPs) a potential candidate for micro- and nano-manufacturing materials and biomaterials.
