Abstract

The uses of composite materials in tissue engineered vascular grafts, were discussed. It was noticed that fiber reinforced polymeric composites, by virtue of its heterogeneity and anisotropy, have gained recent importance in tissue engineering. Since, the elastic properties of these composite materials can be accurately tailored, these find a close resemblance to the elastic property of the host tissues, in terms of isocompliance, modulus gradient, and anisotropy, at any given implantation site. The chemical and mechanical properties of the composite scaffolds, which are easy to be tailored, can help a system to induce tissue regeneration, and determine the type of cells and tissue constituents present in the new arterial tissue.
