Additive‐Manufactured, Multifunctional Bioreactor Technology for Dynamic Culture of 3D Bioprinted Tissue Models

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
We introduce an additively manufactured bioreactor with a perfusion flow system and integrated temperature and pH sensors for skeletal muscle tissue biofabrication. The bioreactor's performance was evaluated by assessing the viability, spreading of the myoblast cells in a printed scaffold, and contraction of the isolated murine musculi interossei ...

Investigation of Ultrasonic Guided Waves Interacting With Piezoelectric Transducers

IEEE Sensors Journal, 2015
Ultrasonic guided waves (UGW) can be used to inspect and monitor a structure from a single test location. Piezoelectric transducers are commonly dry-coupled with force to the surface of the waveguide in order to excite UGWs. These UGWs propagating within the waveguide will interact and reflect from known features, thus possible damage could be detected.
