Soft, Reactive, and Alive: A Dynamic Framework for Degradation and Functional Stability of Polymeric Biomaterials

Polymeric biomaterials do not degrade in vivo through isolated chemical or mechanical events. Hydrolysis, oxidation, enzymatic cleavage, fatigue, wear, protein adsorption, and lipid uptake often interact across the material surface, bulk, and surrounding biological environment, p...
