Fully bioresorbable composites have been investigated in order to replace metal implant plates used for hard tissue repair. Retention of the composite mechanical properties within a physiological environment has been shown to be significantly affecte...

© 2015 AIP Publishing LLC. A method developed in the 1980s for the conversion of linear rheological data to molar mab distribution is revisited in the context of degradable polymers. The method is first applied using linear rheology for a linear poly... Read More about Rheological techniques for determining degradation of polylactic acid in bioresorbable medical polymer systems.
