Abstract
The physico-mechanical properties of amorphous and crystalline rods were observed for osteosynthesis applications. Molded polylactide acids were submerged in buffer phosphate and were analyzed by Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Their microstructures are investigated by SEM and their bending strengths were evaluated in a MTS. The control of crystallinity has a significant effect on the degradation process and application for osteosynthesis.29
