Abstract
For almost all biomedical applications, the bulk properties of the materials used must meet the physical and/or mechanical demands of these applications over the desired time period. These demands may include maintaining physical shapes, carrying mechanical loads, and possessing certain desirable electrochemical behavior, optic index, and/or thermal characteristics, among others. This chapter provides an overview of some of the useful concepts related to the bulk properties of these materials, particularly on the mechanical and other physical properties.
