With their own version of 4d printing, Fergal B. Coulter and Anton Ianakiev are exploring the fabrication of artificial muscle by creating a system for producing seamless tubular silicone membranes with dielectric elastomer actuators (DEA
The material used was a tough and flexible silicone material called Shore 73a which is composed of thixotropic, a bit of kaolin mineral filler (10),
Each surface layer of the 3d printed silicone was coated with graphite, capable of acting as a DEA electrode.
The team inflicted mechanical strain on these silicone muscles during the process by inflating the balloon-like mandrel structure,
the silicone was able to make an evenly distributed return to its original shape. The energy used in the shape change was kept to a minimum because of the compression within the 3d printed tubular structure.
Using robust silicone material, DEA electrodes, and a modified 3d printing system, the research team was able to not only replicate the structure of the muscle,
including silicones, hydrogels, colloids, and living cells. For example, they have used this process to create complex multi-scale structures using PVA hydrogels and fluorescent colloids.

and Johns hopkins university collaborated on a ground-breaking procedure to produce a 3d printed silicone support structure that is implanted into living tissue to guide
which then produced the silicone nerve guide. The sciatic nerve in the rat was severed then, and the guide was implanted surgically into the rat by grafting it to the sliced ends of the nerve.

Each of the other layers has a thickness of just tens or hundreds of nanometers.
Its flexibility was imparted by embedding the silicon bars into a flexible layer of silicone. As the silicone was bent
or flexed, the period of the grating spacings responded in kind. The semiconductor material also allowed the team to create a skin that was incredibly thin, perfectly flat,
including elastomers, silicones, nylon-like materials, ceramics and biodegradable materials. The technique itself provides a blueprint for synthesizing novel materials that can further research in materials science.

This is then sandwiched between two clear sheets of silicone.""The sensor is made out of biocompatible silicone and carbon-doped silicone.
So there are carbon particles inside the silicone which make it conductive so we can use it for electronics,
"explained Weigel. The stickers are attached to the body using a medical-grade adhesive that can be peeled easily off after use without hurting the skin.

#Silicone vaginal rings deliver antiviral drugs, protect women against HIV Researchers at University Jean Monnet of Saint-Etienne,
France have succeeded in developing a vaginal silicone ring that delivers molecules that act on both HIV and herpes virus.
despite the fact that silicone is a hydrophobic compound, "said Meriam Memmi, author of the study and Phd candidate at University Jean Monnet of Saint-Etienne, France.
This was possible due to the addition of a hydrophilic compound to the silicone, which allowed the drugs to be released from their reservoirs.
These preliminary results demonstrate the ability of silicone rings to continuously deliver hydrophilic antiviral drugs for a long period of time at a concentration that would be effective for neutralizing the viruses present in semen.
"The aim of our study was to develop a vaginal silicone ring that was nontoxic to the health of users
