The concepts of composite mechanics have been used to design two materials for potential prosthesis of biomedical interest. They attain specific physical properties and use polymers which show a high degree of biocompatibility. The materials used were a poly (2-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate) as matrix and polyesther resin as reinforcing fibers. The mechanical performance of a uniaxially oriented composite has been adjusted to match the behaviour of a human tendon. A laminate composite has been modelled for use in plastic surgery.
