Current trends in reconstructive medicine, rather than total artificial tissue replacements, are focused on the processes leading to its regeneration or tissue replacement artificially prepared. The aim of this work is to detect mechanical properties of scaffolds through basic viscous plastic and elastic components with clear physical interpretation and the influence of hydration on scaffold properties.
A single-axis tensile test was used and a Poisson number record was recorded from the HD camera. Hydration of the sample results in a decrease in the values of the damping coefficient and a decrease in the stiffness values.
Structure of scaffold samples varies due to load.
