A temperature-monitoring vaginal ring for measuring adherence.
PLoS ONE, 2015 BackgroundProduct adherence is a pivotal issue in the development of effective vaginal microbicides to reduce sexual transmission of HIV. To date, the six Phase III studies of vaginal gel products have relied primarily on self-reporting of adherence ...

Self-Healing, High-Permittivity Silicone Dielectric Elastomer [PDF]
, 2016 Currently used dielectric elastomers do not have the ability to self-heal after detrimental events such as tearing or electrical breakdown, which are critical issues in relation to product reliability and lifetime.

Hydrodynamic control of silicone elastomers on between porous media
Journal of Industrial TextilesSilicone elastomers, for example, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), have been widely used as cross-linkers for fabrication of flexible strain sensors. They not only lend strong adhesion to adjacent materials, for example, porous fabrics, but also tune their ...

Bimodal condensation silicone elastomers as dielectric elastomers [PDF]
, 2016 Lately, dielectric elastomers (DEs) which consist of an elastomer sandwiched between electrodes on both sides, have gained interest as materials for actuators, generators, and sensors. An ideal elastomer for DE uses is characterized by high extensibility, flexibility and good mechanical fatigue as well as high electrical and mechanical breakdown ...
