Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of Biological Tissues with Linear-Chain-Carbon-Modified Surface

A promising approach to enhance durability of biological heart valve prostheses is to provide a coating for the surface of biological tissue effectively masking ligands that promote calcification and degradation of the biological material. This work studied the effect of two-dimensionally ordered li...

Description
Summary:A promising approach to enhance durability of biological heart valve prostheses is to provide a coating for the surface of biological tissue effectively masking ligands that promote calcification and degradation of the biological material. This work studied the effect of two-dimensionally ordered linear-chain carbon (TDOLCC) coatings on mechanical properties of a glutaraldehyde stabilized bovine pericardium.
