CHARACTERISTICS OF TESTING METHODS OF BIOCOMPOSITES

Abstract

In general, for evaluating synthetic biocomposites from a physical, mechanical, chemical, thermal and electric point of view, are used methods and test procedures met in the case composite materials. In addition to this, there are also specific tests aiming at the biological in vitro and in vivo behavior of the biocomposite. The testing methods and procedures are regulated, in general, by standards and norms specific for the testing objective. In the paper are presented the methods for evaluating synthetic polymeric biocomposites without evaluating the biological in vitro and in vivo behavior of the biocomposite.
