Abstract
Composite materials technology is applied to the design, fabrication, and testing of a mechanically anisotropic vascular prosthesis. A 4-ply laminated tube made from a segmented polyetherurethane is described and the effect of various environments on the laminate integrity is discussed.Keywords
