Mechanical characteristics of the grafts based on PLLA microfibers.
| Medium | Wall thickness, μm | Tensile strength, МPа | Young's modulus, МPа | Elongation, % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Native rat aorta | 150 | 2.27 ± 0.56 | 17.3 ± 5.1 | 139 ± 32 |
| The initial PLLA graft | 320 | 2.64 ± 0.29 | 27.0 ± 2.8 | 258 ± 24 |
| PLLA graft thermally treated in the fixed state | 250 | 3.63 ± 0.41 | 145 ± 11 | 175 ± 18 |
| PLLA graft thermally treated in the free state | 370 | 2.61 ± 0.36 | 109 ± 13 | 96.3 ± 21 |
