The Capability of Lyocell/EcoPoxy Braided Composite in the Creation of a Prosthetic Socket
-
- Author(s) / Creator(s)
-
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. -
