The results of our investigation of ion implantation of PLGA show that the PLGA films undergo crosslinking, carbonization and etching. The PLGA coating degrades in water by a hydrolysis reaction. The dewetting of PLGA coating under water is observed on silicon wafer, metal and carbon surfaces. As the result, the coating is ruptured up to separate drops of PLGA on the surface. The dewetting process can be eliminated by an ion beam implantation treatment, when the ions penetrate through the whole…

Biodegradable Metals for Cardiovascular Stent Application: Interests and New Opportunities
TLDR
The recent developments in the design and evaluation of metallic materials for biodegradable stents are reviewed and the new metallurgical processes which could be applied for the production of metallic biodegrades and their effect on the properties of the produced metals are introduced.
Ion Beam Modification of Biodegradable Polymeric Biomaterials
TLDR
By products of biodegradable polymers leaves no residual mass at the application site, this makes these polymers biocompatible which is very important for host response.

Drug release from polyureaurethane coating modified by plasma immersion ion implantation
TLDR
A crosslinked polyurethanurea (PUU) coating was synthesised from a solution on metal vascular stents and plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) was applied to modify the coating for improved release kinetics.

Evaluation of in vitro drug release, pH change, and molecular weight degradation of poly(L-lactic acid) and poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) fibers.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that drug release rates and molecular weight degradation are a function of the amount of aqueous phase added as an emulsion during fabrication, and the type of polymer used determines the Molecular weight degradation rates, but has little effect on drug release kinetics.
