You want to compare the degradation susceptibility of two polymeric materials used in
vascular grafts.
Poly(ethylene terephthalate)
Poly(tetrafluoroethylene):
a. Which of these materials is more susceptible to hydrolytic cleavage (chain scission)? Why?
b. If these materials were manufactured into a tubular shape and used to replace a section of the
vascular system, would degradation be more likely to affect the inner surface or outer surface
of the graft?
