Method for the improvement of mechanical properties of biodegradable polymeric scaffolds
At present, a main focus in the field of stent technologies is on the development of biodegradable polymeric stents. Due to inferior material characteristics of polymers compared to permanent metals stents require thicker stents struts to accomplish adequate mechanical properties. Therefore, a therm...
