โฆ Synopsis
In vitro enzymatic degradation of nonporous films of segmented poly(ether urethane) (Pellethane 2363-80AE) was investigated by incubating the biomaterial in concentrated trypsin solutions for 5 months at room temperature. Chemical degradation of films was monitored by surface analysis techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopyattenuated total reflectance and electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis.
