These proceedings contain the papers and discussions presented at the conference on "Degradation Phenomena on Polymeric Biomaterials". Following polymer chemistry and degradation mechanisms, methods to test and to simulate degradation are proposed. The constraints of the degradation behavior of polymers in a biological environment are presented, from manufacturing processes to different species and implantation sites. New resorbable products and clinical experience conclude the presentations and are complemented by discussions from the participants.
