Table 2.
Mass change (MR) in retrieved samples following 1-week incubation in either PBS or SBF. The negative mass change describes a mass loss in recovered samples likely due to hydrolytic degradation of the material in the tested conditions. EDS Ca/P ratio is presented for samples treated in SBF.
