Liquid Ventilation

open access: yesOman Medical Journal, 2011
Mammals have lungs to breathe air and they have no gills to breath liquids. When the surface tension at the air-liquid interface of the lung increases, as in acute lung injury, scientists started to think about filling the lung with fluid instead of air to reduce the surface tension and facilitate ventilation.

Treatment with Plasma Activated (Salt) Water Sterilizes Macromolecular Coatings While Maintaining Their Integrity and Functionality

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
PDMS samples were covalently coated with mucin glycoproteins and then treated with either plasma activated water (PAW) or saline (PAS) as a means of disinfection. The samples could be successfully sterilized without compromising the structural integrity or functionality of those coatings.

Fluctuating Curvature and Actuation in 4D Printed Asymmetric Networks by Frontal Photopolymerization

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Asymmetric polymer networks, fabricated by frontal photopolymerization (FPP), are shown to exhibit curvature oscillations associated with monomer‐solvent exchanges during development and drying. We introduce a theoretical model for such dynamic curvature fluctuations and demonstrate the fabrication of bistable switches and self‐propelled materials that

Non‐Invasive Multidimensional Capacitive Sensing for In Vivo Traumatic Brain Injury Monitoring

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Single‐electrode, multidimensional capacitive sensors noninvasively assess cerebral autoregulation and compliance for traumatic brain injury monitoring. ABSTRACT Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and disability, but invasive intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is risky, and current non‐invasive methods lack the resolution and ...
