In the biomaterials field there is an increasing interest in medically biodegradable materials. The medical biodegradability of mesoporous silicon is now established both in vitro and in vivo. The review highlights the techniques used to date to characterize this phenomenon, the degradation kinetics, and the various factors that can influence the kinetics of dissolution into orthosilicic acid.
