Mechanical properties of biological composite reinforced by polyester mesh

2015

Abstract

The inflation-extension tests were performed with developed hybrid composite manufactured from biological collagenous matrix and reinforced with polyester mesh. The mesh was integrated into biological collagenous matrix in three different configurations.

It was shown that we can obtain response from stiff and linear to nonlinear and very compliant depending on the position of the mesh within the matrix.
