Influence of humidity, temperature and prestretch on the dielectric breakdown strength of silicone elastomer membranes for DEAs

Smart materials and structures (Print), 2020
Humidity, temperature and membrane prestretch influence the dielectric breakdown strength of elastomer membranes. These three factors thus also influence the maximum force and strain that dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) can generate, as the Maxwell

Biocompatible, hyaluronic acid modified silicone elastomers

Biomaterials, 2010
Although silicones possess many useful properties as biomaterials, their hydrophobicity can be problematic. To a degree, this issue can be addressed by surface modification with hydrophilic polymers such as poly(ethylene glycol), but the resulting structures are usually not conducive to cell growth.

Design of a mechanically strong and highly stretchable thermoplastic silicone elastomer based on coulombic interactions

, 2020
The combination of mechanical properties, self-healing capability and recyclability is practically considered for silicone elastomers. Here, thermoplastic silicone elastomers (TPSEs) were prepared via cross-linking solely by coulombic interactions ...

Silicone elastomers for reduced protein adsorption

Biomaterials, 2004
Monofunctional poly(ethylene oxide) polymers of molecular weight (MW) 350, 750, and 2000, respectively, were modified with Si(OEt)3 groups. These polymers underwent classic condensation cure with hydroxy-terminated silicone polymers and Si(OEt)4 to give composites with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) rich surfaces under aqueous conditions, as shown by ...

Silicone Elastomer Plombage for Severe Hemoptysis

Archives of Surgery, 1973
A 58-year-old man suffered massive, life-threatening hemoptysis secondary to cavitary tuberculosis. Silicone elastomer augmentation mammoplasty prostheses were inserted for cavitary collapse and as an urgent measure to control hemoptysis, with use of the well-known technique of extracostal subperiosteal plombage.

Thyroplasty Using A Silicone Elastomer Implant

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 1995
Silicone has been used in a variety of forms as a replacement for soft tissue for more than three decades in the United States. The safety of this practice has come under scrutiny recently as our knowledge of the local, systemic, and immune effects of silicone has expanded. Contrary to what was once thought, silicone is not biologically inert. Silicone
