The method presented allows to create, in principle, large amounts of elastomer-based robots in a relatively easy manner and with a versatile approach.
The DTG curves of samples are used as 'fingerprints' in the identification of many single elastomer or blends, finding that the peak height of the DTG curves is dependent on the amount of each elastomer in the blends [16].
Both are influenced by the amount of particles immobilized onto the elastomer surface.
Mixing the smallest quantity shortly before injection of fish minimized wastage of elastomer.
This book is the first comprehensive collection of electronic aspects of different kinds of elastomer composites, including combinations of synthetic, natural and thermoplastic elastomers with different conducting fillers like metal nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, or graphenes, and many more.
Tagging time and elastomer use were recorded to minimize wastage of elastomer material.
Figure 6a illustrates the self-cleaning of elastomer surfaces.
The VIE tag project manual states that quantities as small as 0.1 mL of elastomer could be prepared (Northwest Marine Technology, Inc., 2008, 'Visible implant elastomer tag project manual').
The morning after capture, we individually marked each tadpole with a unique color-coded combination of elastomer dyes (visible elastomer implants available from Northwest Marine Technologies, Shaw Island WA, U.S.A).
