What is it about?
This paper considers the behaviour of glass fibres that have been formulated to use in biomedical implants. Mechanical testing showed the material to have good properties to be sued to re-inforce implants. However, once placed in a model body fluid the speed at which they degraded was shown to be fast and the solution became acidic, indicating potential problems if they were used to reinforce polymers.
