Initial mechanical properties of phosphate-glass fibre-reinforced rods for use as resorbable intramedullary nails
(2012)
Journal Article
This paper investigates the use of novel phosphate- glass fibre-reinforced rods as resorbable intramedullary nails. Random and unidirectional fibres were moulded into composite rods by forging at ∼100 °C. Rods produced using non-woven random mats (RM...
