Corrosion

What is it? Biomaterials where the elemental constituents are lost to the adjacent environment due to corrosion mechanisms. The same type phenomena exists for carbons (conductors) and ceramics (nonconductors) although at reduced magnitudes. The polymers undergo biodegradation due to preferential leach- ing of lower molecular weight fractions and poly- meric chain breakdown by enzymatic cleavage and/or hydration and/or oxidation-reduction processes.
