Predicting the degradation behavior of advanced medical devices

Polymer materials play a vital role in today’s medicine. While many applications demand for long-lasting devices, others benefit from materials that disintegrate once their job is done. The design of such materials largely depends on the capability to predict their degradation behavior. A team of researchers established a method to faster and more reliably predict the degradation of these polymer materials with sophisticated molecular architectures.
