## Abstract Biodegradable helicoidal stent prototypes made up of layers of polyโLโlactic acid (PLLA) and poly(Lโlacticโ__co__โglycolic acid) (PLGA) polymers were fabricated by temperature conditioning the stents at different stages of fabrication. The process incorporated elastic memory, or selfโex
Measurements of the interfacial properties between an elastic tape and poly(methyl methylcrylate) substrates were carried out using a circular blister test. All properties, including adhesive fracture energy G a , residual stress o and the elastic modulus of the tapes can be deduced in a single test
## Abstract The strength of two dental stones under three standard test regimens and two novel testing modes is reported. It was found under all test regimens that the water/powder ratio significantly affected the strength of the two gypsum products in a similar manner. It was established that the
## Abstract The effect of the addition of a radioโopaque filler, barium sulfate (BaSO~4~), on the mechanical properties of a biodegradable amorphous polymer film (polyโlacticโcoโglycolic acid, PLGA) was studied, as a function of degradation. With up to about 18% loading (v/v), the modulus of the fi
## Abstract Information on the biodegradability of an oil product (or its components) is needed for classification and labelling purposes. The extent to which a product can be broken down by microbial attack is usually determined using a โready biodegradabilityโ test (e.g., OECD 301 Test Guidelines
