Multimodal Soft Surgical Robots Enabled by Eco‐Degradable, Sterilizable Polymers and Transient Electronics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A compostable PGS soft surgical robot with interchangeable modules integrates transient Mo tactile and Si thermal sensors for dual feedback. The device preserves its function after clinical‐grade sterilization, demonstrates stable actuation and cardiac tissue grasping with real‐time in vivo pulsatile monitoring, and biodegrades post‐use with soil‐safe,

Glycerol-silicone elastomers – current status and perspectives [PDF]

, 2018
Glycerol and silicone pre-polymer are two virtually immiscible liquids. However when sufficiently high shear forces are applied to a mixture of both then the glycerol phase breaks down to micro-size droplets evenly distributed within the silicone pre ...
