Heart-e-Gel explores the use of electroactive polymer hydrogels for medical applications, particularly in cardiovascular surgery. The project focuses on developing microsystems that utilize these materials to create devices capable of significant volume changes for therapeutic purposes.
Actuators based on electroactive polymer (EAP) hydrogels constitute a very attractive yet poorly explored technology. EAP hydrogels can expand and contract by several times their original volume by application of a small voltage.
They can be engineered to be either porous or non-porous and the pore density and distribution can also be controlled.
Their inherent limitations of very low actuation speed and need to operate in an aqueous medium constitute no impediment – and in fact make them partic…
