Abstract The design and development of novel methodologies customized materials to fabricate patient‐specific 3D printed organ models with integrated sensing capabilities can yield advances in smart surgical aids for preoperative planning rehearsal. Here, prostate are demonstrated physical properties tissue soft electronic sensors using custom‐formulated polymeric inks. show high quantitative fidelity static dynamic mechanical properties, optical characteristics, anatomical geometries...
Minimally invasive surgeries have numerous advantages, yet complications may arise from limited knowledge about the anatomical site targeted for delivery of therapy. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally procedure treating stenosis. Here, we demonstrate multimaterial three-dimensional printing patient-specific soft root models with internally integrated electronic sensor arrays that can augment testing TAVR preprocedural planning. We evaluated efficacies by comparing...
The focus of this work is to evaluate a new carbon fiber reinforced composite structure with integrated sensing capabilities. In structure, the typical matrix material used for composites replaced thermoplastic polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF). Since PVDF has piezoelectric properties, it enables be load sensing. addition, electrical conductivity property fabric harnessed form electrodes sensor. order prevent from shorting each other, thin Kevlar layer placed between two electrode layers as...
Self-sensing carbon fiber reinforced composites have the potential to enable structural health monitoring that is inherent composite material rather than requiring external or embedded sensors. It has been demonstrated a self-sensing polymer can be created by using piezoelectric polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) as matrix and Kevlar layer separate two layers. In this configuration, electrically conductive layers act electrodes acts dielectric prevent electrical shorting of This characterized...
In this issue of Chem, Glatzel et al. have developed a 3D-printing-based system to quantifiably assess the susceptibility pathogens antibiotics—administered either independently or in combination with other antibiotics—in an important step toward providing rapid, multiplex drug screening. One biggest threats human health lies within some smallest living life forms—bacteria. Bacteria cause diseases ranging from common skin infections potentially devastating bacterial meningitis. Largely as...
The purpose of this study is to create and evaluate a smart composite structure that can be used for integrated load sensing structural health monitoring. In structure, PVDF films are as the matrix material instead epoxy resin or other thermoplastics. reinforcements two layers carbon fiber with one layer Kevlar separating them. Due electrical conductivity properties dielectric effect Kevlar, acts capacitor. Furthermore, piezoelectric monitor response under applied loads. order exploit PVDF,...
