Injection molding of a starch/EVOH blend aimed as an alternative biomaterial for temporary applications

Biodegradable polymers show great potential to be used as materials for temporary implants and bone replacement applications in orthopedics. However, its use in high load-bearing applications will depend on the successful development of biodegradable implants with a mechanical performance matching t...
