Degradation rate of bioresorbable materials : prediction and evaluation /
Bioresorbable materials can be employed to provide significant advances in drug delivery systems and medical implants. The rate of material degradation is critical to performance of both implants and the controlled release of drugs. Degradation rate of bioresorbable materials addresses the practical...
