Correction: Barmouz et al. Long-Term Impact of Sterilization Cycles on the Surface and Mechanical Integrity of Medical-Grade Silicone. J. Manuf. Mater. Process. 2025, 9, 282
Key Points
Assess the long-term effects of sterilization cycles on the surface and mechanical properties of medical-grade silicone materials.
Evaluated mechanical tests on silicone samples post-sterilization
Assessed surface characteristics through microscopy
Conducted a series of sterilization cycles on samples
Significant changes in surface texture were observed after multiple cycles
Mechanical strength decreased after prolonged sterilization
Surface integrity showed notable degradation with increased sterilization exposure
