19 Jul Study of microbiological structures with the purpose of creating MEMS actuators with various applications in medicine
Our paper presents the study of cellular structures with the purpose of creating microactuators, some of which have applications in medicine. The microactuators were developed after studying various cellular structures ranging from the F1Fo ATP synthase to the sporangium of the Polypodium aureum fern. The geometrical parameters of the sporangium have been used along with additional data to develop diverse models of microactuators. Various materials were tested to serve as the base material for our actuators such as polyethylene, silicon dioxide, and chitosan. The mechanisms developed have various applications ranging from diagnostic tools to a possible treatment for paralysis.
