Biomedical devices and sensor research has been widely exploiting soft elastomers and gels reinforced with hard structures such as woven/knitted fibers or 3D printed structures, often with conductive/ magnetic components for active functionalities. Soft material and device lab (SMDL) aims to develop biomedical devices and sensors based on the understanding of physicochemical properties of gels, elastomers, and their composites with functional or non-functional reinforcements. Firstly, our recent works on elucidating the structure-property relations of a polampholyte hydrogel and its applications in smart windows, supercapacitors, and pressure/temperature sensor are presented. Secondly, our recent works in developing neo-aorta material for ex-vivo heart perfusion (EVHP) device are introduced. Thirdly, I introduce our two-layered e-textile patches for surface electromyography (sEMG) and electroencephalography (EEG) systems with wireless data emission. |
