Degradation and its theoretical evaluation of poly(lactic acid) under simulated body environment (Changes in molecular weight and crystallinity)

The mechanical properties of bio-absorbable plastics, which is used as a bon fixation, change in the body because the plastics is hydrolyzed under the body environment. Theoretical prediction of the bio-degradation process will be useful for the medical application of these materials. Thus, a simple...
