Abstract(#br)Neurally controlled prosthetics that cosmetically and functionally mimic amputated limbs remain a clinical need because state of the art neural prosthetics only provide a fraction of a natural limb's functionality. Here, we report on the fabrication and capability of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and epoxy-based SU-8 photoresist microchannel scaffolds to serve as viable constructs for peripheral nerve interfacing through in vitro and in vivo studies in a sciatic nerve amputee model where the nerve lacks distal reinnervation targets.

Abstract(#br)Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is widely used for microfabrication and bioanalysis; however, its surface functionalization is limited due to the lack of active functional groups and incompatibility with many solvents. We presented a novel approach for in situ fabrication of cleavable peptide arrays on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) via tert -butyloxycarbonyl ( t -Boc)/trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) chemistry using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as the anchor and a disulfide/amine terminated hetero-polyethylene glycol as the cleavable linker.

Abstract(#br)PDMS-PVDF hydrophobic microporous membranes were prepared through NIPS process for the vacuum membrane distillation (VMD). The influences of PDMS/PVDF mass ratio on the morphology, crystalline structure, pore structure, hydrophobicity, mechanical characteristics and permeability of the membranes were investigated. Compared with the finger-like pore PVDF membrane, PDMS-PVDF membrane had two kinds of pores which are finger-like pore and sponge-like pore and had higher porosity, bigger mean pore size, higher hydrophobicity, stronger mechanical properties and better VMD performances.

Abstract(#br)Procedure to establish full contact between the sample and the 1\u003cce:hsp sp=\"0.25\"/\u003emm diameter cylindrical flat punch tip to measure polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) mechanical properties using the Hysitron TriboIndenter is described. This procedure differs from the standard automated indentation because each indent has to be performed manually after establishing full contact with the sample surface. Incomplete contact happens because of the sample tilt with respect to the flat punch surface and results in incorrect elastic modulus values.

Abstract(#br)We report the magnetic, optical and magneto-optical properties of aligned Nickel nanowires embedded in polydimethylsiloxane matrix. The NWs prepared by electrodeposition method in anodic alumina template and then dispersed in ethanol and placed in a heater to evaporate the ethanol and finally dispersed in PDMS matrix to reach to the composite. The used external magnetic field arranges the NWs and our aligned NWs were investigated by magnetic hysteresis loop, surface plasmon resonance and spectral magneto-optical techniques.

Abstract(#br)Graphene has been attracting great attention from scientific community due to its astonishing mechanical, optical, and electrical properties, especially, graphene films synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method are large, uniform and high-quality. CVD-grown graphene films have been successfully transferred onto various kinds of substrates such as SiO 2 /Si, quartz, PET, and plastics. However, graphene transfer onto polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrates for device development has been limited due to the very low surface energy of PDMS.

Abstract(#br)The use of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is increasing with new technologies working toward compact, flexible and transparent devices for use in medical and microfluidic systems. Electronic characterization of PDMS and other insulating materials is difficult due to charging, yet necessary for many applications where the interfacial structure is vital to device function or further modification. The outermost layer in particular is of importance as this is the area where chemical reactions such as surface functionalization will occur.

Abstract(#br)In this contribution, zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8)/polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were prepared for hydrocarbon recovery using propane/nitrogen mixture as a model feed gas pair. All MMMs obtained a homogeneous particle dispersion and intimate interface interaction, which were confirmed by high resolution scanning electric microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) mapping.

摘要 利用聚焦750 keV质子微束在聚二甲基硅氧烷( PDMS )薄膜中制备了用于干涉仪应用的马赫-曾德尔( MZ )光波导。在0.3 mm × 40 mm范围内，通过机械台和扫描微束精确控制样品的位置，形成嵌入MZ波导结构。在PDMS薄膜中成功嵌入了芯径为8 μm的MZ波导，其深度为18 μm。将MZ波导与中心波长为1550 nm的红外光纤激光器耦合，利用红外摄像机的透射光强图像进行了评价。结果表明，在PDMS中嵌入MZ波导结构实现了单点光的传输，这对于基于聚合物MZ波导构建光开关电路是必要的。

Abstract(#br)An understanding of the properties of multifunctional materials is important for the design of devices for biomedical applications. In this paper, a combination of experiments and models was used to study the mechanical and hyperthermic properties of magnetic nanoparticles (MNP)-filled PDMS composites for biomedical applications. These are studied as a function of the weight of MNP, γ-Fe 2 O 3 . The results showed the effects on mechanical behavior, and specific losses in a magnetic field.
