Construction of the original transformable esophageal probe is thoroughly described. The innovated construction suggests lesser traumatisation by insertion and spiral expansion, together with secure compression hemostasis. Unlike the traditionally used obturating Blackmore probe, the spiral transformable original construction leaves the esophageal lumen open for further endoscopic hemostatic procedures. The feature provides exclusive advantages of the original construction.

Boosting the Actuation Performance of a Dynamic Supramolecular Polyurethane-Urea Elastomer via Kinetic Control.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

January 2025

College of Polymer Science and Engineering, State Key Laboratory of Polymer Materials Engineering, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610065, China.

The ongoing soft actuation has accentuated the demand for dielectric elastomers (DEs) capable of large deformation to replace the traditional rigid mechanical apparatus. However, the low actuation strain of DEs considerably limits their practical applications. This work developed high-performance polyurethane-urea (PUU) elastomers featuring large actuation strains utilizing an approach of kinetic control over the microphase separation structure during the fabrication process.
