Tumbling Magnetic Microrobots for Targeted In Vivo Drug Delivery in the GI Tract

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
We introduce a microrobot design and integrated system for on‐demand targeted drug release in the gastrointestinal tract. The microrobot has an embedded magnet for actuation with external magnetic fields and is visualized in real time using ultrasound. It has two drug release ports sealed with a thermally sensitive wax. Local heating of the wax using a

Designing Tribological Interface for Efficient and Green DLC Lubrication: The Role of Coatings and Lubricants

open access: yesTribology Online, 2012
DLC coatings are low friction and low wear coatings and thus inherently possess some of the characteristics that may be beneficial or even enable green lubrication requirements. In particular, their low wear behavior may represent a potential for different, less harmful and more environmentally adapted lubrication compared to conventional materials ...
