Biomechanical Superiority of the Chinese Knotting Technique in Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Cadaveric Study

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
In cadaveric PCL reconstruction, the Chinese knotting technique preserves graft mechanics, significantly increases maximum load, and limits elongation, supporting early rehabilitation and reducing failure risk. ABSTRACT Objective We previously developed a novel internal tension‐relieving augmentation suture, the Chinese knotting technique (CKT), which ...

Hybrid Metal–Carbon Ink for Printed Stretchable Temperature Sensors

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 16, 19 August 2026.
We prepare conductive inks for temperature sensing with silver flakes and carbon or graphite flakes in a silicone elastomer matrix. Silver dominates the temperature‐dependent conductivity, while the carbon filler network ensures the stability of the conductive pathways and retains function under strain.
