The in vitro bioactivity of the sutures was tested by immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF).
Bioactivity was tested by immersion in Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS) and mechanical tests were performed at compression.
To begin with, solutions of cysteine in combination with sodium dithionite and ammonium carbonate were tested by immersion of samples into the different solutions.
In the second part of the present study, the ability of fluoride treatment was tested through immersion of samples into NaF solution containing 500 ppm.
Mechanical property, in vitro degradability and biocompatibility were tested by tensile test, immersion and a cytotoxicity test.
Leaching experiments (e.g., tank test, immersion test) can be used to analyze target chemicals in eluates, and the toxicity of mixtures can be measured in bioassays; however, methods to better transfer laboratory results to field conditions are still needed.
A lot of research about asphalt mortar [2, 3, 4, 5, 6] has been done in terms of the standard Marshall test, immersion Marshall test, rutting test, and low-temperature bending test of beam specimens.
However, due to mechanical breaks occurring during the test, immersion of samples in water for only 10 min and the assumption that fragments larger than 2 mm are durable, the slake durability test has some limitations.
The asphalt mixtures incorporating BOF as coarse aggregate were prepared and subsequently subjected to modified Lottman test, immersion rutting test and fatigue life test to determine the moisture resistance.
Area of concrete without chloride ion content (not directly exposed to sea, bottom 10 cm portion) was used for air permeability test, salt immersion test and electrophoretic test of chloride ion.
