Figure 1. Mechanical properties and degradation of polymers as a function of polymer concentrations and incubation time.

Figure 1

(A) PDLLA-PEG 4000; (B) PDLLA-PEG 1000; and (C) PLLA-PEG 1000. Statistically significant reductions in compressive moduli are seen at each increasing time point (p<0.001) and each concentration for all materials, except between days 21 and 28 where p > 0.5. In addition, the main effects of material type and material concentration are significantly different for these biomaterials (p<0.001 based on two-way independent ANOVA). n = 3 replicates for all groups.
