Abstrakt: A promising approach to enhance durability of biological heart valve prostheses is to provide a coating for the surface of biological tissue effectively masking ligands that promote calcification and degradation of the biological material. This work studied the effect of two-dimensionally ordered linear-chain carbon (TDOLCC) coatings on mechanical properties of a glutaraldehyde stabilized bovine pericardium. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
