• New emerging trends in synthetic biodegradable polymers – Polylactide: A critique (2007, background): “But when PLA is subjected to degradation, water penetrates the bulk of the polymer matrix and hydrolysis on the ester group takes place preferentially by attacking at the chemical bonds in the amorphous phase, converting long polymer chains into shorter one, ultimately to low molecular weight water ”
• Biodegradable magnesium alloys for orthopaedic applications: A review on corrosion, biocompatibility and surface modifications. (2016, background): “coatings on Mg and its alloys to control the initial rate of degradation, as their degradation rate is based on their molecular weight [79].”
• Biodegradable Materials for Bone Repair and Tissue Engineering Applications (2015, background): “Therefore, biodegradable materials are sought since they can be used as an implant and do not require a second surgical event for removal [40,41].”
