Degradation Phenomena on Polymeric Biomaterials

Degradation Phenomena on Polymeric Biomaterials edited by Heinrich Planck, Martin Dauner, Monika Renardy.

Tradi tionally, the International lTV - Conferences on Biomate­ rials are focussing on problems in Biomedical Engineering, problems, which are still unsolved, of main interest, and which are of interdisciplinary character. In 1983, the Division of Biomedical Engineering of the Institute of Textile T...
