Extrusion of Heterogeneous Filament‐like Structures: A New Paradigm in Fabricating Soft Mechanical Gradient with Long Span

Small Science, EarlyView.
An extrusion‐based technique to engineer a stiffness gradient interphase material that seamlessly bridges soft‐to‐hard interface without strain localization in multimaterial systems is presented. The gradient is obtained by spatial control of the distribution of reinforcing expandable microspheres in polydimethylsiloxane.

Study of the bactericidal properties of polylactic acid‐based 3D filament

Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, EarlyView.
PLA with a metallic additive exhibits no antibacterial properties, whereas a photocatalytic TiO2 additive, activated by UV irradiation, produces reactive oxigen species (ROS) that induce bacterial inactivation. Abstract The spread of microorganisms is a global challenge for health, the environment, and the economy.

Australian dental practitioner attitudes to expanding Medicare to include more dental services

Australian Dental Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The exclusion of dentistry from Medicare in Australia means there is limited public funding available to address widespread disparities in access to dental care, which is provided predominantly by private practitioners. The aim of this study was to investigate dental practitioners' attitudes towards expanding Medicare to include ...

Isogenic Transplantation of Hybrid Artificial Pleural Tissue Consisting of Rat Cells and Polyglycolic Acid Nanofiber Sheet Induces Restoration of Mesothelial Defects in Rat Model

Artificial Organs, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 778-789, May 2025.
We have successfully constructed hybrid 3D tissue using mesothelial cells, fibronectin‐gelatin nanofilm‐coated fibroblasts, and collagen‐coated PGA nanofiber sheets to create artificial pleura, and achieved successful isogenic engraftment in a rat model of pleural defects. ABSTRACT Background Impairment of the visceral pleura following thoracic surgery

A Robotic Prosthesis for an Amputee Drummer [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
The design and evaluation of a robotic prosthesis for a drummer with a transradial amputation is presented. The principal objective of the prosthesis is to simulate the role fingers play in drumming. This primarily includes controlling the manner in which the drum stick rebounds after initial impact.
