Ageing Resistance
PVDF has been used as a surgical suture material for many decades with great success, even in demanding areas of application such as ophthalmology and cardiology. [5, 91]
PVDF is known for its excellent long-term stability/ageing resistance compared to other materials such as polypropylene. [2A, 5VIT, 27A, 52VIT, 93A, 101P]
