Abstract

Biodegradable polymers have incessantly gained salience in medical technology and regenerative medicine during the past few decades. These biomaterials are used in temporary implant devices, wound sutures and drug delivery systems. The relation between characteristics of a material and its ability to degrade is still not sufficiently understood. Thus, improved biomaterial design is performed by time‐consuming trial and error experimental procedures. Knowledge‐based modeling techniques can provide a more systematic and efficient method.
