Stretchable And Elastic Interconnects

View page
US Patent:
20040192082, Sep 30, 2004
Filed:
Mar 28, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/402087
Inventors:
Sigurd Wagner - Princeton NJ, US
Stephanie Lacour - Lawrenceville NJ, US
Zhigang Suo - Lexington MA, US
International Classification:
H01R012/00
US Classification:
439/067000
Abstract:
The present invention relates to stretchable interconnects which can be made in various geometric configurations, depending on the intended application. The stretchable interconnects can be formed of an electrically conducting film or an elastomer material to provide elastic properties in which the interconnects can be reversibly stretched in order to stretch and relax the elastomer material to its original configuration. Alternatively, stretchable interconnects can be formed of an electrically conducting film or a plastic material to provide stretching of the material to a stretched position and retaining the stretched configuration. The stretchable interconnect can be formed of a flat 2-dimensional conductive film covering an elastomeric or plastic substrate. When this structure is stretched in one or two dimensions, it retains electrical conduction in both dimensions. Alternatively, the stretchable and/or elastic interconnects can be formed of a film or stripe that is formed on an elastomeric or plastic substrate such that it is buckled randomly, or organized in waves with long-range periodicity. The buckling or waves can be induced by various techniques, including: release of built-in stress of the conductive film or conductive stripe; pre-stretching the substrate prior to the fabrication of the conductive film or conductive stripe; and patterning of the surface of the substrate prior to the fabrication of the metal film. The stretchable interconnect can be formed of a plurality of conductive films or conductive stripes embedded between a plurality of layers of a substrate formed of an elastomer or plastic.

On-Demand And Reversible Drug Release By External Cue

US Patent:
20120035531, Feb 9, 2012
Filed:
Feb 1, 2010
Appl. No.:
13/147870
Inventors:
Xuanhe Zhao - Cambridge MA, US
Nathaniel D. Huebsch - Colma CA, US
David J. Mooney - Sudbury MA, US
Zhigang Suo - Lexington MA, US
Assignee:
PRESIDENT AND FELLOWS OF HARVARD COLLEGE - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
A61M 37/00
US Classification:
604 22
Abstract:
The invention provides a method to release drugs from a polymer matrix upon demand without degrading the matrix. By applying ultrasound to a self-healable polymer matrix in physiological environment, compounds of both low-molecular and high-molecular weights encapsulated in the matrix are delivered at controlled rates, while the integrity and stiffness of the matrix are unaffected.
