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?
