• Prosthetic sockets are widely known as the most important part of a prosthetic. In this study, the
  feasibility of lyocell/EcoPoxy braided composite is examined in its use in a prosthetic socket. By
  comparing different known physical properties of lyocell/EcoPoxy to materials normally used, such as
  carbon/epoxy, fibreglass/epoxy, and polypropylene, it has been found that lyocell/EcoPoxy has the
  physical properties to be used as a material for prosthetic sockets.
