Novel bioresorbable phosphate glass fiber textile composites for medical applications (2017)
Journal Article
Zhu, C., Ahmed, I., Parsons, A. J., Wang, Y., Tan, C., Liu, J., …Liu, X. (2018). Novel bioresorbable phosphate glass fiber textile composites for medical applications. Polymer Composites, 39(S1), E140-E151. https://doi.org/10.1002/pc.24499

A manual bench-top inkle-type loom was designed to enable hand woven textiles. These PGF textiles, along with unidirectional (UD) fiber mats made from the same batch of yarns, were utilized to manufacture fully resorbable textile composites (T-C), un...
