Four dressing techniques are described; these techniques enable patients with granulating wounds complicating skeletal injuries to be treated as outpatients. The patients perform their own dressings, thus reducing demands on nursing services and freeing hospital beds. In a study of 63 patients there was no problem in managing the wounds from weekly outpatient clinics; good wound healing was achieved.

Wearable sweat sensors with stretch capabilities and robust performances are desired for continuous monitoring of human health, and it remains a challenge for sweat sensors to detect targets reliably in both static and dynamic states. Herein, a flexible sweat sensor was created using a cost-effective approach involving the utilization of three-dimensional graphene foam and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The flexible electrochemical sensor was fabricated based on PDMS and Pt/Pd nanoparticles modified 3D graphene foam for the detection of uric acid in sweat.

Flexible and stretchable electrodes are essential components in soft artificial sensory systems. Despite recent advances in flexible electronics, most electrodes are either restricted by the patterning resolution or the capability of inkjet printing with high-viscosity super-elastic materials. In this paper, we present a simple strategy to fabricate microchannel-based stretchable composite electrodes, which can be achieved by scraping elastic conductive polymer composites (ECPCs) into lithographically embossed microfluidic channels.

An increasing number of frequently applied portable electronics has raised the significance of self-powered systems. In this regard, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have drawn considerable attention due to their diversity of design and high power output. As a widely used material in TENG electrodes, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) shows attractive characteristics, such as electron affinity, flexibility, and facile fabrication.

Barnacles are able to effectively adhere to most surfaces underwater. Dewetting of the corresponding surface prior to the release of their permanent adhesive plays an important role in the attachment process. Possibly, a surface that is able to interfere with this process may have exceptional fouling repellence and fouling release abilities.

Bio-trickling filters (BTFs) can be used for the treatment of hydrophobic VOC-contaminated air. To improve treatment performance, two novel polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) packing media were produced and trialled in BTFs inoculated with Cladophialophora fungus. The BTF packed with PDMS/foam ceramic composite filler showed superior performance: rapid start-up within 3 days, rapid restart within 7 days after starvation for 1 month, a maximum toluene elimination capacity (EC) of 264.
