Synthesis, structure, and properties of carbon/carbon composites artificial rib for chest wall reconstruction

Abstract In this work, braided carbon fiber reinforced carbon matrix composites (3D-C/C composites) are prepared by chemical vapor infiltration process. Their composite structure, mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and in vivo experiments are investigated and compared with those of traditional...
