  abstract: Bioresorbable materials can be employed to provide significant advances in drug delivery systems and medical implants. The rate of material degradation is critical to performance of both implants and the controlled release of drugs. Degradation rate of bioresorbable materials addresses the practicalities of this subject in detail. Bioresorbable materials are extensively used for a wide range of biomedical applications from drug delivery to fracture fixation, and may remain in the body for weeks, months or even years. Accurately predicting and evaluating the degradation rate of these materials is critical to their performance and the controlled release of bioactive agents. Degradation rate of bioresorbable materials provides a comprehensive review of the most important techniques in safely predicting and evaluating the degradation rate of polymer, ceramic and composite based biomaterials. Part one provides an introductory review of bioresorbable materials and the.
