MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND MEDICAL MATERIAL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide medical equipment and a medical material using an aliphatic polyester resin composition whose mechanical strengths such as tensile modulus and bending modulus sre improved by irradiation with an ionizing radiation and which has excellent biodegradability.

SOLUTION: The medical equipment and the medical material involve a resin composition obtained by irradiating the mixture of a biodegradable aliphatic polyester resin and a nanocarbon material with an ionizing radiation. Specifically, the ionizing radiation is electron beams or γ rays and the nanocarbon material has a spiral cylindrical structure with a 6 membered carbon ring as the main structure.
