With the surge of interest in miniaturized implanted medical devices (IMDs), implantable power sources with small dimensions and biocompatibility are in high demand. Implanted battery/supercapacitor devices are commonly packaged within a case that occupies a large volume, making miniaturization difficult. In this study, we demonstrate a polymer electrolyte-enabled biocompatible magnesium-air battery device with a total thickness of approximately 300 μm. It consists of a biocompatible polypyrrole-para(toluene sulfonic acid) cathode and a bioresorbable magnesium alloy anode. The biocompatible electrolyte used is made of choline nitrate (ionic liquid) embedded in a biopolymer, chitosan. This polymer electrolyte is mechanically robust and offers a high ionic conductivity of 8.9 x 10-3 S cm-1. The assembled battery delivers a maximum volumetric power density of 3.9 W L-1, which is sufficient to drive some types of IMDs, such as cardiac pacemakers or biomonitoring systems. This miniaturized, biocompatible magnesium-air battery may pave the way to a future generation of implantable power sources.

“…rubber technology. [27][28][29][30] In our research we have studied blends having a high content of low molecular weight poly(ethylene glycol)s (LMWPEG) of different molecular weights and nature of end groups. Fast changes in blend structure were induced by heating to 90°C, the temperature exceeding possible application range, while measuring the gas transport properties of an about 100µm thick film of the material.…”

Abstract:Blend materials of Pebax ® 1657 and low molecular weight poly(ethylene glycol)s were studied for their stability at temperature up to 90°C. It was found that a threshold of molecular weight exists at which leaching out of the low molecular weight compound from the polymer matrix becomes minimal. Poly(ethylene glycol) with methyl end groups having a molecular weight of 500 g/mol provides a blend material with a CO 2 permeability coefficient higher than in case of Polyactive™. PEBAX ® /DM500 blend can be a cheaper alternative to tailor made Polyactive™ in large scale production of thin film composite membrane.

“…1 Due to the brittle nature of the neat PVC, it is often compounded with plasticizers to enhance its flexibility and toughness for various applications, and the most commonly used plasticizers for PVC are phthalate esters. 2 They constitute 97% of the total amount of plasticizers are usually added in concentrations up to 50% of the final weight of the products.…”

Poly(1,2-propylene glycol adipate) (PPA) was used as an environmentally friendly plasticizer in flexible poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC). Thermal, mechanical, and rheological properties of the PVC/PPA blends were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical analysis, tensile test, scanning electron microscopy and small amplitude oscillatory shear rheometry. The results showed that PPA lowered the glass transition temperature of PVC. The introduction of PPA could decrease tensile strength and Young's modulus of the PVC/PPA blends; however, elongationat-break was dramatically increased due to the plastic deformation. The plasticization effect of PPA was also manifested by the decrease of dynamic storage modulus and viscosity in the melt state of the blends. The results indicated that PPA had a good plasticizing effect on PVC.
