Experimental validation of durable silicone elastomers for high-ductility seismic isolation bearings

Urban Lifeline
Although laminated elastomeric bearings are integral components in seismic isolation systems, their elastomeric materials remain susceptible to environmental degradation and temperature-induced aging.

Cellular Responses to Mechanical Cues Across Scales: From Fundamental Insights to Translational Potential

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...

SEMI-ACTIVE DAMPING PERFORMANCE OF IRON PARTICLE FILLED SILICONE RUBBER

Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2016
The aim of this work was to design, produce and evaluate a demonstrator to visualize the magneto-induced damping behaviour of materials. In contrast to standard materials, the damping coefficient of iron particle filled silicone rubbers can be controlled

Magnetostriction effects in silicone elastomers

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2020
Abstract New silicone magnetoactive elastomers have been synthesized and studied. Significant magnetostrictive effects in the synthesized composites were visualized by microscopy. The obtained results can be the basis for the design of controlled dampers and promising magnetostrictive engines of a new generation with micro and nanoscale ...

A Novel Drug‐Loaded Porous Parylene Electrode for Targeted Anti‐Inflammatory Therapy and Hearing Preservation in Cochlear Implantation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A porous parylene‐coated electrode loaded with dexamethasone was developed to reduce inflammation after cochlear implantation. In guinea pigs, the device provided sustained drug release, maintained biocompatibility, improved auditory brainstem response thresholds, and reduced inflammatory cell infiltration and TNF‐α expression.

Multiwavelength Implantable Oximeter for Wireless Monitoring of Tissue Oxygenation in the Presence of Blood Volume Changes

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents an implantable, wireless, battery‐free oximeter that can continuously monitor physiologically consistent regional tissue oxygenation under dynamic changes of blood volume. This is achieved through multiwavelength photoplethysmography and validated both via Monte Carlo simulations and in vivo rat studies. Different stress events were
