Development of Surrogate Spinal Cords for the Evaluation of Electrode Arrays Used in Intraspinal Implants
DownloadSpring 2012
A surrogate spinal cord was developed to test the mechanical stability of electrode arrays for intraspinal implants. The mechanical and surface properties of candidate materials were tested. The elastic modulus was characterized using dynamic mechanical analysis. Forces required to indent the...

This study focuses on the synthesis process of gelatin-shelled microbubbles and their characterization. A new method to synthesize gelatin-shelled microbubbles was described. Briefly, Traut’s reagent was used to thiolate gelatin molecules; then sonication forces were placed at the water-air...
