Evaluation of the single beam and 100% line is important in any FTIR analysis and especially in TGA/FTIR.
DetailsTesting to Improve the Durability of Artificial Heart Valves
Polymer leaflet heart valves can fail in long-term use due to tearing and calcification caused by high dynamic tensile and bending stresses on the material and oxidative reactions with blood. It was postulated that synthetic valve leaflets that mimic the natural valve leaflet structure fabricated from fiber-reinforced composite material will minimize leaflet stresses and decrease tears and perforations.
