Study 1: An artificial blood vessel was fabricated using a hydroxyapatite/poly(ethylene terephthalate) composite.
According to recent research published in the Asaio Journal, "Nano-scaled sintered hydroxyapatite (HAp) crystals were covalently linked onto a poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fabric substrate chemically modified by graft polymerization with gamma-methacryloxypropyl triethoxysilane (MPTS) for development of an artificial blood vessel.
"The weight gain of graft polymerization with poly(MPTS) on PET in benzyl...
