  • Searching for a material that matches cartilage materialproperties

    Dear Subscribers;

    To calibrate a cartilage contact-stress sensor array, I will apply
    known loads to it with use of a materials testing machine. To
    mimic the joint contact condition as closely as possible, I intend
    to coat the loading plattens (that contact the array of
    micro-sensors) with a synthetic material that matches the material
    properties and dimensions of the articular cartilage as closely as
    possible. As a minimum requirement, I would like the modulus of
    elasticity to be closely matched to that of the articular cartilage.

    Do you know of a material that is suitable for this application?

    Thank you very much for any relevant information,

    -Jack
