EFFECT OF WATER ABSORPTION ON THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF BIODEGRADABLE MATERIALS FOR MEDICAL APPLICATIONS
Abstract eng: This article presents results of conducted studies of mechanical properties offered by biodegradable polymers in the production of biodegradable implants. The adopted research methodology comprising specimen geometry and simulating the implant functioning environment allowed the determination of the impact of water absorption during hydrolytic degradation on changes of mechanical properties of polylactide injection moulded pieces. The obtained test results were then analysed statistically, and on this basis a value correlation was defined for the obtained results in change of specimen mass in relation to change in mechanical strength of the given material.
