INFLUENCE OF A SHORT-TERM TISSUE CULTURE MEDIUM STORAGE ON THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF COMPOSITES BASED ON GLASS FIBRES AND POLYSILOXANE

Fabric composites for use as bone plates and bone substitutes were investigated. The composites were composed of E- and R-glass fibres and a matrix based on polysiloxane resin. The effect of short-term storage in a tissue culture medium on the composite material elution was studied and, subsequently...

Description
Summary:Fabric composites for use as bone plates and bone substitutes were investigated. The composites were composed of E- and R-glass fibres and a matrix based on polysiloxane resin. The effect of short-term storage in a tissue culture medium on the composite material elution was studied and, subsequently, their mechanical properties were tested. It was concluded that the composites exhibited almost no change in their material properties after storing in the medium used and drying. 11 refs.
