Degradability of Polymers for Implantable Biomedical Devices
Many key components of implantable medical devices are made from polymeric materials. The functions of these materials include structural support, electrical insulation, protection of other materials from the environment of the body, and biocompatibility, as well as other things such as delivery of a therapeutic drug. In such roles, the stability and integrity of the polymer, over what can be a...

متن کاملImplantable Biomedical Devices
Almost a decade after the invention of the first semiconductor transistor in 1948, it took around a decade for the revolutionary technology to evolve from producing single devices to the integration of a few transistors as the first integrated circuit in 1958. Since then, integrated circuits have been in continuous progress for more than half a century as predicted by the well-known Moore’s law...
