Linear, flexible macromolecules in the semicrystalline state have long been recognized as
being globally metastable and divided into microphases and nanophases with strong …

This paper reviews recent developments related to biodegradable polymer nanocomposites.
The preparation, characterization, properties, and applications of nanocomposites based on …

Polydioxanone (PDS) is a colorless, crystalline, bioabsorbable polymer that was first
developed specifically for wound closure sutures. The compatibility, degradation rate, and …

Biodegradable polymer nanocomposites, due to their biodegradability and other improved
properties possess tremendous scope in the industrial sector. This current article reviews the …

The concept of hydrolytically degradable biomaterials was developed to enable the design
of temporary implants that substitute or fulfill a certain function as long as required to support …

The second edition of An Introduction to Biomaterials consists of 33 chapters that have been
conceived and organized as a practical educational road map to provide a fundamental …

Polydioxanone is used in numerous medical applications, eg, biodegradable sutures and
implants, for its excellent biocompatibility and appropriate degradation time. However …

We have studied the hydrolytic degradation of high molecular weight poly (p-dioxanone),
PPDX, sutures. The samples were degraded either in distilled water or in a phosphate buffer …

Candida antarctica Lipase B (CALB), a metal-free enzyme, was successfully employed as
catalyst for ring-opening copolymerization of ω-pentadecalactone (PDL) with p-dioxanone …

Polydioxanone (PPDO) is synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of p-dioxanone, using
stannous octoate as the catalyst. The polarized optical micrograph (POM) shows thes …
