Design, fabrication and characterization of polypyrrole trilayer actuators
Conducting polymers are currently studied as artificial muscle materials. They are used instead of traditional actuators because they mimic the movements of animal muscles. They can generate larger active stresses than real muscles as well as generate small strains which can be amplified to cause …

Design, Fabrication, and Validation of Membrane-Based Sensors
Hair cell structures are one of the most common forms of sensing elements found in nature. In humans, approximately 16,000 auditory hair cells can be found in the cochlea of the ear. Each hair cell contains a stereocilia, which is the primary structure for sound transduction. This study looks to …
