Fatigue behaviour of load-bearing polymeric bone scaffolds: A review
This review examines how polymeric bone scaffolds used in tissue engineering perform under repeated mechanical stress, focusing on their fatigue behavior. While not directly about microplastics, the research is relevant because it explores how polymer materials break down under physical stress, which is similar to how plastic products degrade into microplastics in the environment. Understanding polymer fatigue helps explain why plastic materials fragment over time and contribute to micro- and nanoplastic pollution.
