Results

Pericardium
E=1.52 MPa
UTS=5.22 MPa
Elongation at breakpoint is 60.4%

ePTFE
E>15 MPa
UTS=9.2÷11.3 MPa
Elongation at breakpoint is 8-14%

Conclusions

The elastic modulus of ePTFE samples is significantly higher than that

in pericardial samples
The form of stress-strain curves of ePTFE depends on the stretching direction
The next step: enhancement of quality of ePTFE sheet
