This paper studied the relationship between the textile structure of warp knitted hernia repair meshes and their physico-mechanical properties to solve the problem of hernia patch application evaluation and clear the mechanism of hernia patch structure-performance for clinical application. Six different prototypes of large pore meshes were fabricated, including four kinds of meshes with different pore shapes: H (hexagonal), D (diamond), R (round) and P (pentagonal); and two kinds of meshes with inlays: HL (hexagonal with inlays) and DL (diamond with inlays), using the same medical grade polypropylene monofilament. All meshes were designed with the same walewise density and coursewise density. Then the influence of other structural parameters on the physico-mechanical properties of the meshes was analysed. The physico-mechanical properties of these meshes tested meet the requirements of hernia repair, except mesh DL, whose tear resistance strength (12.93 ± 2.44 N in the transverse direction) was not enough. Mesh R and P demonstrated less anisotropy, and they exhibited similar physico-mechanical properties. These four kinds of meshes without inlays demonstrated similar ball burst strength properties, but mesh HL and DL exhibited better ball burst strength than the others. All in all, uniform structures are expected to result in less anisotropy, and meshes with inlays, to some extent, possess higher mechanical properties. And the ratio of open loop number to closed loop number in a repetition of weave of fabric has marked effect on the physico-mechanical properties. Thus we can meet the demands of specific patients and particular repair sites by designing various meshes with appropriate textile structures.

The artificial plywood materials were prepared using natural minerals and inorganic oxide powders as the main fillers for urea-formaldehyde resin adhesive instead of flour. The method mentioned above has advantages in saving food resources, reducing cost of plywood, improving the quality of plywood and decreasing the release amount of free formaldehyde. On the basis of the research achievement both domestic, foreign and our experimental data, this paper mainly discussed the effect of filler on adhesive properties, bond strength of plywood, and free formaldehyde content, which provided reference for development of green environmental protection and low cost urea-formaldehyde resin adhesive minerals composite filler.

Attapulgite mineral powder as raw material, through surface modification and composite of various mineral processing, the effect of modifier dosage, composite powder filler ratio on the mechanical properties and formaldehyde emission of the plywood which is bonded by filled urea-formaldehyde resin were investigated. The results show that under the conditions of the plywood bonding strength to meet the national standard, modified attapulgite make the plywood formaldehyde emission decrease from 4.5 to 2.1 mg/L, the composite material can make the formaldehyde emission decreased to 1.6 mg/L, which can improved the indoor environment and the grade of plywood.
