Durability of Gamma-Sterilized Biomedical Polyolefins : DEGRADATION, MORPHOLOGY, BIODEGRADATION, INITIATION OXIDATION AND STABILIZATION

This book explore valuable information & research results of the durability and stabilization of biomedical polyolefins during and after - sterilization. The book covered the most research area and literatures survey on the field of radiation-sterilized biomedical polyolefins. The importance and applications of -sterilization on medical polymers and its effect on the properties on esp. polyolefins have been reviewed in chapter 1. Chapter 2 aimed to investigate the eect of - sterilization on the biodegradation of polyolens. It explore the behavior of neat and -sterilized samples during incubation in compost and fungal culture environments. Chapter 3 investigate the effect of -irradiation dose and -dose rate on chemical and physical changes of biomedical polyolens. Chapter 4 aimed to explore the effect of - sterilization on crystallinity, thermal behavior and morphology of biomedical polyolens. Chapter 5 explore the stabilization of polyolens against -sterilization with single or binary additive system. The present attempt is to utilize synergistic mixtures of stabilizers which are approved for food contact applications.
