ABSTRACT:
Interpenetrated matrix of polytetrafluoroethylene and elastomer is disclosed. The matrix is formed into a composite material which is flexible, durable, highly porous with a tight microporous structure and improved retractability. The composite material is subjected to a multi-expansion process to produce shaped articles such as films, tubes, rods and filaments with excellent flexibility and elasticity. More particularly, the composite material can be utilized to produce vascular grafts with excellent biological compatibility.
