Biodegradable Polymeric Materials
Advanced Materials, 1996What can stop the mountain of discarded plastic packaging from growing? One solution to be considered is the development and use of biodegradable polymers. The advantages and drawbacks of various biodegradable plastics, water‐soluble polymers, and natural and semisynthetic polymers are outlined in tis review.

It is completely plausible that unmodified materials of natural origin, such as the native macromolecules cellulose or starch, are biodegradable. If these materials are modified then degradation may, depending on the degree of modification, be more difficult or even impossible.

Biodegradable Polymeric Materials
2016The ability of polymers to be degraded in physiological environments makes them interesting candidates for various medical applications. Degradation and metabolisation or excretion of polymeric implants can avoid a second surgery for the removal of an implant. They follow a distinct pathway for degradation, depending on their structure.

Biodegradation of Polymeric Materials
2001This paper presents an overview of the current knowledge on the biodegradability of polymeric materials, in particular in relation to degradation under environmental conditions. The significance of defining ‘biodegradation’ and related terms, and complexities associated with the issue are discussed followed by the different aspects of assessing the ...

Biodegradable fixation materials
2014Problems related to metallic implant had increased the interest to biodegradables. In this paper, the physical and chemical properties, degradation modalities, implant design, clinical studies with techniques, and complications of biodegradable implants, especially polylactic and polyglycolic acid, were reviewed.
