Аннотация:The effect of the dose of sterilizing γ irradiation on the properties of polylactide-sponge materials is studied. It is found that irradiation significantly affects the weight-average molecular weight that decreases from 180 to 83 kDa at an irradiation dose of 60 kGy as well as the mechanical properties of the materials. The elastic modulus decreases at an irradiation dose of 25 kGy and above.
