Biophysical Properties of Foamed and Solid Polymers Used in Orthotics and Prosthetics

Biophysical Properties of Foamed and Solid Polymers Used in Orthotics and Prosthetics

Orthotic and prosthetic materials should have good mechanical and antibacterial properties. Therefore, in our study, we consider four common foamed closed-cells and two solid polymeric materials regarding their mechanical behaviour and tendency for bacterial adhesion. For all materials, the surface...
