Ecofriendly high-performance electroactive polymer actuators have received great attention due to their applications in human friendly electronics such as soft haptic devices, wearable electronics, and biomedical robots. Here, we report an ecofriendly electroactive soft actuator based on porous carboxylated bacterial cellulose (CBC) membrane, thereby realizing large bending deformation, fast response,...
Formation of membranes in microfluidic channels have been paid attention for their great potentials in separation of components, cell culture supports for tissue engineering and chemical process involving molecular transports. In this study, we introduce a few techniques for formation of hydrogel membranes in microfluidic channels and their applications. First, using enzymatically crosslinkable hydrogels...
The use of membranes within microfluidics has been widely studied, such as separating of components and culturing supports of scaffolds for tissue engineering. A few methods for in-situ formation of membranes have been reported. However, these methods are hard to control the width of membrane or difficult to realize stable interfacial membranes. Furthermore, these conventional methods are impossible...
We present a novel MEMS-based power generator using activation of cardiomyocytes. Cardiomyocytes are cultured on the MEMS fabricated lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate (PMN-PT) single crystal diaphragm, directly and the mechanical stress induced by contraction forces from cardiomyocytes is conversed into electrical power. This PMN-PT single crystal diaphragm has one-side interdigitated electrode...
