A new frontier of assistive devices aims at designing exoskeletons based on fabric and flexible materials for applications where kinematic transparency is the primary requirement.
Development of lightweight flexible materials for electromagnetic interference shielding has obtained increased attention in recent years particularly for clothing, textiles in-house use and technical applications especially in areas of aircraft, aerospace, automobiles and flexible electronics such as portable electronics and wearable devices.
The measurements are useful for the further development of flexible and elastic materials for electroporation in biomedicine[20].
Polyamide-12 (PA) is a flexible material suited for denture bases and clasping.
This paper describes the design, modeling, fabrication and characterization of a micromachined array of high-density 3-dimensional microposts (100 × 100) made of flexible material (silicone elastomers) for use to measure quantitatively the cellular traction force and contractile events in isolated vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).
Researchers have adapted graphene into something they call GraphExeter (I see what they did there) which they say is the most transparent, lightweight and flexible material ever invented for conducting electricity.
In addition, 3D print models made of flexible material can be used for practice surgery before the real operation.
It's turned into lightweight, flexible material; it's almost apologizing for itself.
Geosynthetics is the umbrella term for thin, flexible material sheets applied in civil and environmental engineering, of which geotextiles form the largest group.
Marketing this tough, flexible material, called celluloid, as a substitute for ivory, tortoiseshell, and horn, Hyatt's Celluloid Manufacturing Company made it into a variety of products, including combs, piano keys, and knife handles.
