OBJECTIVES: Fontan failure refers to a condition in which the Fontan circulation, a surgical procedure used to treat certain congenital heart defects, becomes insufficient, leading to compromised cardiac function and potential complications. This in vitro ...

Magnetorheological (MR) fluids are materials that consist of dispersions of ferromagnetic particles in a liquid carrier medium. Their tunable rheological properties under the application of an external magnetic field classify them in the category of smart ...

Performance of dielectric elastomer actuators is closely related to its breakdown field. On the other hand, to enhance the available energy, multilayer configuration is needed to increase the amount of active material. However, multilayer configuration suf ...

The high prevalence of lower extremity ulceration and amputation in people with diabetes is strongly linked to difficulties in achieving and maintaining a reduction of high plantar pressures (PPs) which remains an important risk factor. The effectiveness o ...

Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), particularly urinary incontinence (UI), represent a significant global health challenge, affecting millions of patients worldwide. The artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) remains one of the most effective intervention fo ...

Facial paralysis is a highly burdening condition, resulting in a patient's inability to move his mimic musculature on one or both sides of his face. This condition compromises the patient's communication and facial expressions, and thus dramatically reduce ...

Artificial muscles, designed to replicate the movements of natural biological muscles, hold significant promise in the fields of robotics and prosthetics. Recent advancements have led to the development of fiber-reinforced actuators, drawing inspiration fr ...

Low urinary tract dysfunctions and symptoms (LUTS) and Urinary incontinence (UI) in particular is a medical condition that affects millions of people worldwide. One of the most promising long term treatments for this condition is the use of an artificial u ...

Pumps play a crucial role in sustaining life by facilitating fluid circulation within the human body. This article presents the design and characterization of a high-performance tubular dielectric elastomer pump. The study investigates three distinct pump ...

Plantar pressure plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of foot ulcers among patients with diabetes and peripheral polyneuropathy. Pressure relief is a key requirement for both the prevention and treatment of plantar ulcers. Conventional medical practice ...

Dielectric Elastomer Actuators (DEAs) are a type of smart material described as compliant capacitors. They show impressive performances as soft actuators, such as a high strain and fast response. Nonetheless, replicating natural muscle function with DEAs h ...

Facial nerve injury and paralysis causes negative physical and psychosocial effects for afflicted patients. Impaired respiration, articulation, oral competence, as well as insufficient protection of the corneas may cause a markedly decreased quality of lif ...

Facial nerve palsy results in the inability to control facial muscles, including the Orbicularis Oculi, which is the main muscle enabling the blinking action. Blinking is not only important for responding socially to other humans, it is also essential for ...

Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) have raised interest due to their remarkable capabilities in various applications, such as soft robotics, haptic feedback systems, and biomedical devices. To harness the full potential of DEAs, the choice of the electr ...

Dielectric Elastomer Actuators (DEAs) are a type of soft actuators, generating mechanical displacement when an electric stimulation is applied. DEAs can be described as compliant capacitors, and when a voltage is applied, a compressive Maxwell stress will ...

This review presents a detailed survey of Dielectric Elastomer Actuators (DEAs) and their emerging role in medical applications. DEAs are distinguished by their flexibility, low weight, and excellent biocompatibility, making them well-suited for a wide ran ...

Facial paralysis is a highly burdening condition, resulting in a patient's inability to move his musculature on one or both sides of the mouth. The restoration of facial movement is crucial for enhancing the overall patients' quality of life. The use of DE ...

The recent development of Dielectric Elastomer Actuators (DEA) requires a new approach to the description of hyperelastic material when the architectures are more complex than a film of material. In this paper, we propose a new technique of identification ...

A dielectric elastomer actuator (1) comprising: a plurality of polymer layer (2);a plurality of stretchable electrode layers (3), each polymer layer (2) being sandwiched between two electrode layers (3) so as to control the electric field within the polyme ...

This publication presents the characterization of self discharging Dielectric Elastomer Actuators (DEAs) in order to give place to low duty cycle applications, during which a DEA must remain actuated for long periods of time. DEAs typically present a low c ...
