• Description based upon print version of record.
• Includes bibliographical references and index.
• pt. 1. Types and properties of bioresorbable medical polymers -- pt. 2. Aspects of durability and reliability of non-bioresorbable medical polymers.
• Given the widespread use of polymers in medical devices, the durability and reliability of this material in use is an area of critical importance. Durability and reliability of medical polymers reviews the performance of both bioresorbable and non-bioresorbable medical polymers.Part one provides a review of the types and properties of bioresorbable medical polymers. The effect of molecular structure on properties is discussed, along with the processing of bioresorbable and other polymers for medical applications. Transport phenomena and the degradation of bioresorbable medical polymers
