Materials designed for rapid degradation are often biodegradable and bioresorbable. Common examples include: - Polymers: Such as polylactic acid (PLA) and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), which are widely used in medical applications. - Metals: Magnesium and zinc are used for their bioresorbable properties in implants. - Composites: Combining different materials to achieve specific degradation rates and mechanical properties.
