Incorporation of liquid fillers into silicone foams to enhance the electro-mechanical properties

International Journal of Smart and Nano Materials, 2020
Silicone foams with and without liquid fillers (silicone oils of various types and glycerol, respectively) are synthesized and analyzed to be used as dielectric layers in capacitive sensors. A simple fabrication technique involving only four components i.

The Influence of Oily Vehicle Composition and Vehicle-Membrane Interactions on the Diffusion of Model Permeants across Barrier Membranes

Membranes, 2021
In many instances, one or more components of a pharmaceutical or cosmetic formulation is an oil. The aims of this study were two-fold. First, to examine the potential of preferential uptake of one oily vehicle component over another into a model barrier ...

Quantitative assessment of silicone oil release with siliconized and silicone oil-free syringes by microflow imaging microscopy

Arquivos Brasileiros de Oftalmologia, 2022
Since particles are released in syringes during intravitreal injections, we assessed them quantitatively after agitating syringes commonly used for intravitreal injections.With and without agitation, the SR 1-ml insulin, Becton-Dickinson Ultra-Fine 0.3-ml Short Needle with a half-unit scale, HSW Norm-Ject Tuberculin, and Becton-Di-ckinson 1-ml Luer Lok

Combustion Characteristics and Self‐Extinguishing Mechanism of Novel Self‐Extinguishing Fluorinated Silicone Insulating Oil

High Voltage
Traditional mineral oil has long served as a liquid insulating medium in power transformers. However, its low fire resistance, poor biodegradability and dependence on finite fossil fuel resources, along with its low flash point, contribute to transformer

Silicone Phase Behavior Resolves the Softness–Surface Functionality Trade‐Off in Emerging Stretchable Electronics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ultrasoft silicone elastomers often sacrifice surface functionality for mechanical compliance. In Mold Star, low‐molecular‐weight species form a dispersed phase that weakens the network and passivates the surface. Solvent extraction removes this phase, unexpectedly improving both extensibility and metallization performance, enabling conductive ...

The stability of insulin solutions in syringes is improved by ensuring lower molecular weight silicone lubricants are absent

Heliyon, 2017
Protein drugs such as insulin are almost universally delivered via glass syringes lubricated with silicone oil. It is not uncommon for prefilled syringes (PFS) to become cloudy, which may affect bioavailability or total drug dose. To examine the role, if
