This paper describes the establishment of an enhanced mathematical model and an inversion-based controller based on the proposed model for a trilayer conjugated polymer actuator that will steer a cochlear implant through a 3-D structure. The multilayer electroactive polymer actuator that operates in air will suit many biomedical applications. We propose to use viscoelastic models for the conducting...
An inkjet printer has been developed for printing hydrogel materials. The printer uses two peizo industrial printheads to print out combinations of cationic and anionic polymers, which then form gels on a substrate in a clear demonstration of reactive printing. The synthetic polymers poly-diallyl-dimethyl ammonium chloride and polystyrene sulfonate, and the naturally occurring polymers, alginate,...
We report on the use of inkjet, extrusion, and capillary printing of poly(3,4 ethylenedioxythiophene)/ poly(sodium 4-styrene-sulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS) to create structures that could be used in a flexible, implantable bionic device. Resistance values as low as 250 kΩ are demonstrated, with little deviation under as much as 1.5% strain. The results show PEDOT/PSS can be a suitable material for printed...
This paper details the development of a textile based fluid handling system with integrated wireless biochemical sensors. Such research represents a new advancement in the area of wearable technologies. The system contains pH, sodium and conductivity sensors. It has been demonstrated during on-body trials that the pH sensor has close agreement with measurements obtained using a reference pH probe...
