Abstract:
The mechanical properties of Prenyl, Orthoplast Isoprene, Orthoplast Vinyl, and Bioplastics were determined. This study was conducted to enhance the knowledge of the orthotist in his use of these materials in the fabrication and application of braces and splints. The tests considered appropriate for determining the pertinent characteristics were tensile strength, Barcol hardness, impact, and creep relaxation.
