A Proof‐of‐Concept Assessment of a Novel Wearable Eyelid Muscle Device: A Pre‐Clinical Animal Cadaver Study for Eyelid Closure Restoration

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article introduces a soft wearable eyelid sling device incorporating a hydraulic soft artificial muscle (SAM) for achieving complete closure of an eyelid. The SAM is driven by a cam mechanism that provides a displacement profile closely matched with those of a healthy eyelid.

Polyimide film wear: Effect of temperature and atmosphere [PDF]

open access: yes
Friction and wear experiments conducted on polyimide films bonded to 440C stainless steel disks indicated that a wear transition (from high wear to low wear) accompanied a friction transition (from high friction to low friction). In dry argon or dry air (
