MESOCOPOLYMERS, ARTICLES AND METHODS FOR PREPARING SAME Abstract of the Disclosure Mesocopolymers, articles formed from mesocopolymers, and methods for preparing the same are provided. The mesocopolymers and articles are softer and more resistant to degradation by sterilizing dosages of ionizing radiation than comparable crystalline structures, and are expected to be tougher and/or quieter. In addition, the mesocopolymers and articles can include an additional layer grafted thereto by a dose of ionizing radiation. |
