Multiscale Characterization of Isotropic Pyrolytic Carbon Used for Mechanical Heart Valve Production

Multiscale Characterization of Isotropic Pyrolytic Carbon Used for Mechanical Heart Valve Production

Usage of pyrolytic carbon (PyC) to produce mechanical heart valves (MHVs) has led to heart valve replacement being a very successful procedure. Thus, the mechanical properties of employed materials for MHV production are fundamental to obtain the required characteristics of biocompatibility and wear...
