Mapping the mechanical and electrical properties of commercial silicone elastomer formulations for stretchable transducers

Journal of Materials Chemistry C, 2020
Elastomers for fabricating soft and stretchable transducers require high elongation at break, high dielectric permittivity, high breakdown strength and low leakage current. We map blends of commercial silicones to find optimum compositions.

“SYRI” – A hands-on teaching model for SYRInging of nasolacrimal duct

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology
Background: Nasolacrimal duct (NLD) screening is a standard before cataract surgery. Lacrimal sac pressure and syringing rules out NLD obstructions.[1] However, lacrimal syringing is invasive and risks iatrogenic injury to the lacrimal drainage system ...
