Melt-processing of novel bioresorbable polymer nanocomposites for healthcare

The load bearing capacity of biodegradable polymeric medical devices remains limited; an improvement in mechanical properties is desirable to widen the range of applications. Incorporation of nanoparticles via melt compounding is a route to improving mechanical properties, but appropriate processing...
