Abstract:
The characterisation of a polyester material for cardiovascular applications can be carried out to various levels of sophistication. This paper focuses on certain methods which could give information about important aspects of material characterisation such as chemical identity, molecular parameters, surface studies, extraction studies, removal of oligomers, mechanical properties and thermal properties. Significance of the results obtained from such analyses are also discussed.
