Transdermal drug delivery refers to the administration of drugs through the skin, after which
the drugs can directly act on or circulate through the body to the target organs or cells and …

Over the past decades, device miniaturisation, flexibility, and stretchability have received
increasing attention to enhance portability and wearability, overcome dimensional …

Untethered capsules hold clinical potential for the diagnosis and treatment of
gastrointestinal diseases. Although considerable progress has been achieved recently in …

This paper illustrates an experimental activity for the closed-loop position control of an
actuator made using shape memory alloy (SMA) wire. A solution with the self-sensing effect …

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are widely used across various industries, including medicine,
due to their inherent properties such as the shape memory effect, pseudo-elasticity …

Electrically driven soft pumps act as ideal “hearts” for flexible fluidic systems in soft robots
and wearable devices. Dielectric elastomers (DEs) are promising for soft pump fabrication …

This work describes the design and characterization of a novel electromagnetically actuated
3D printed micropump that efficiently employs a synchronized active valve to achieve a high …

Recent research in Transdermal drug delivery (TDD) systems has predominantly focused on
microneedles (MNs) and nanoencapsulated drugs, which offer painless, gradual drug …

In order to improve the utilization rate of the pump chamber of the multi-chamber
piezoelectric pump, a cascade type series-parallel hybrid three-chamber piezoelectric pump …

Micro-channels with built-in shape memory alloys (SMAs) can respond intelligently to
channel temperature variations without applying an external force and control the flow rate …
