Computer simulation of polymer chain scission in biodegradable polymers

Biodegradable polymers degrade due to the hydrolysis (chain scission) of the polymer chains. Two theories of hydrolysis are that 1) scissions occur randomly at any bond in chains, and 2) scissions occur in the final bond at chain ends. In this study, a simulation tool was developed to simulate both...
