3. Behavior of different biomaterial families in natural and synthetic physiological environments
From the point of view of their degradation in the human body, and given the multitude of biomaterials and their applications, most of the problems encountered (and often still poorly understood and resolved, as they may enter into synergy or competition) are multiple and varied. Table 3 lists the main types of damage that have been confirmed by clinical feedback.
