✦ Synopsis
The paper is concerned with comparatjve measurements of torsional strength and modulus of carbon fibre reinforced composites in the form of plates as used for internal fixation of bones. The carbon/carbon-composites have been prepared with sulfur modified CT-pitch, phenolic resin and polyphenylacetylene resin as matrix precursor. Carbon fibre reinforced plastic plates were processed using commercially available prepregs. The mechanical properties and especially the torsional strength data are discussed from the view-point of requirements in osteo-synthesis.
