Promising Poly(ε-caprolactone) Composite Reinforced with Weft-Knitted Polyester for Small-Diameter Vascular Graft Application
The present study was designed to improve the mechanical performance of a small-diameter vascular prosthesis made from a flexible membrane of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL). PCL reinforcement was achieved by embedding a tubular fabric knitted from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) yarns within the freeze...
