Wet and dry effect on the hydraulic conductivity of polymer treated GCL prototype [PDF]

, 2016
Geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) are widely used to isolate pollutants because of their low hydraulic conductivity to water. However, the performance of clay barriers may be impaired by prolonged exposure to electrolytic liquids which may lead to the ...

PEDOT‐Based Eutectogel Electrode Arrays for Enhanced High‐Resolution Electrogastrography: Fabrication, Stability, and Wearable Performance

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Here, we present a high‐density PEDOT eutectogel electrode array for enhanced body surface gastric mapping. Silver electrodes are blade‐coated onto flexible substrates, followed by electrogelation of PEDOT:PSS and the deposition of a PEDOT:LS eutectogel.
