Inflation Test of Developed Biological Composite Reinforced by Polyester Mesh

Abstract:

The inflation-extension tests were performed with developed hybrid composite manufactured from biological collagenous matrix and reinforced with polyester mesh. One sample was made without the mesh. This control specimen showed compliant and almost linear behavior. Tests of samples with integrated mesh in the matrix demonstrated that mechanical properties of final composite could be modulated by placing of its reinforced component in the matrix. 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 biological matter.
