The IOM3 Rubber in Engineering Group is hosting an afternoon technical discussion meeting (ATDM) will focus on the behaviour of elastomers that are used in biomedical applications.
Introduction - Prof James Busfield (QMUL)
"Silicone elastomers: from fast curing chemistry to biomedical applications" - Khai Duong Quang Nguyen, William Megone, Dexu Kong and Julien Gautrot (QMUL)
"The effects of sterilisation on properties of platinum cured silicone tube" - Beckie Govier (Watson-Marlow Tubing)
"Precision peristaltic tubing is manufactured in an ISO 14644-1 Class 7 clean room for use in biotechnology and pharmaceutical manufacturing processes." This talk discusses the effects of sterilisation on critical performance parameters.
"Soft and Small - the challenges of compression testing hydrogel embolic beads" - Rosemary Bushby and Andy Lewis (Biocompatibles UK, BTG)
"Synchrotron X-ray studies of elastomers used in biomedical applications under strain" - Tan Sui (University of Surrey)
