Macro-mechanical properties of nanotextiles on PLGA base - tensile strength

Abstract eng:
The paper presents the results measured during the macro-mechanical study of properties of nanotextiles based on poly-(lactide-co-glycolite) acid (PLGA). These nanotextiles are extensively used in biomedicine and many other applications, and therefore it is important to reach a certain level of mechanical properties so that they can be used properly. Very easy and cheap method, so called passportization, can be utilized for investigation of nanotextile microscopic properties. For the testing of macro-mechanical properties it is possible to use common testing methods like in case of textiles and membranes (e.g. water vapor barriers). The results of tensile strength related to the width of tested sample are presented in this paper. Finally, certain aspects limiting the use of common testing methods (especially nanotextile weight per unit area) are discussed.
