Degradation Phenomena on Polymeric Biomaterials (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Planck, Heinrich; Renardy, Monika; Dauner, Martin

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

These proceedings contain the papers and discussions presented at the conference on "Degradation Phenomena on Polymeric Biomaterials". The constraints of the degradation behavior of polymers in a biological environment, i.e. in the human body, are presented, from the manufacturing processes to differents species and implantation sites.
