Silicone-Based Systems as Dielectric Elastomer Transducers
Silicone elastomers are favourable materials for dielectric elastomer transducers. Read more about the current state-of-the-art.
Polymer Brushes for Blood Contacting Devices
Researchers have shown that surface modification with polymer brushes reduces fouling and adhesion of whole blood, blood plasma or blood cells.
Understanding Chain Growth Limitations
In many applications, obtaining thicker polymer layers upon surface initiated radical polymerization would be advantageous. Towards this goal a better theoretical understanding of the mechanisms behind chain growth is crucial.
