Fabric composite materials to be used as bone plates and bone substitutes were investigated. The composites were composed of E- and R-glass fibers and a matrix based on polysiloxane resin. The effect of a short-term storage in the tissue culture medium upon the composite materials elution was studied and, subsequently, their mechanical properties were tested. It was concluded that the composite materials investigated exhibited almost no change in their material properties after storing in the medium used and drying.
