Investigation into the Stability of Biomedical Grade Silicone and Polyurethane Exposed to Ionizing Radiation

Clinical studies suggest radiation dose and dose rate cause increased failure of medical implants however, little evidence supports this claim and due to the complexity of an in vivo environment, separating variable implants is difficult. Before beginning to understand material changes in vivo, a sy...
