Material degradation occurs during and after irradiation sterilization. The degree of post-degradation can be accelerated by altering the temperature, environment, and irradiation dose. This article discusses methods to accelerate post-degradation and how this can be used as a predictive technique for evaluating new or improved polymer formulations.
