The time of biodegradable polymers has arrived. Meanwhile, it is critical to know the properties of your polymer before employing it -- whether as a plastic bag or as a cardiac stent. We want to provide a fast, simple, and low-cost test for the degradation characteristics of biopolymers, especially for those that will be subjected to mechanical stress.
