The authors consider smooth solutions, \(U=(u(X),v(X))\), to the nonlinear elliptic system associated with a two dimensional elastic material \(\Omega\) which has energy functional \[ W(U)=\int_{\Omega}(| DU|^ 2/2+H(\det DU))dX. \] The function H(d) is nonnegative, convex and unbounded in a neighborhood of zero. Two maximum principles are proved for DU and they show that if \(\Omega '\subset \subset \Omega\) then \(\| DU\|_{C^{\alpha}(\Omega ')}\) and \(\| DU^{- 1}\|_{L^{\infty}(\Omega ')}\) are bounded a priori in terms of \(\| DU\|_{L^ p(\Omega)}\) and W(U) for some \(p=p(H)\).
