Charvet, J. Cordes, H. Alexander] Tensile and fracture tests were conducted on thin panels of a fiber-reinforced bioabsorbable material. The composites were made of polycarbonate matrix and calcium phosphate fibers. Both matrix and fibers were bioabsorbable orthopaedic biomaterials. The fibers were short and randomly distributed. The properties were compared for composites with and without a coating of methane on the fibers. Composites with the methane coating had a higher elastic modulus, a higher proportional limit, but a lower load at failure on pre-cracked panels. Electron microscopy showed that the coating resulted in a better bond between the matrix and the fiber. Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2000 Charvet J.
