Change in the properties of the membrane of the left ventricle of an artificial heart after operating in an animal

  • Published:
Mechanics of Composite Materials Aims and scope

Conclusion

After 53-day operation of a biomer membrane of an AH in a calf its physical and mechanical properties changed little. The membrane retained the greater part of its fatigue life and a high surface quality; as a consequence of insignificant creep, its functional properties also changed little.
