Abstract
Described are biofidelic conductive skin simulants closely mimicking the biomechanical properties of natural human skin, including vaginal skin tissue. The conductive simulant contains a siloxane network and conductive fibers.
Claims19
A conductive, biofidelic conductive skin simulant comprising a crosslinked siloxane network with a conductive material dispersed therein, wherein the conductive skin simulant has a tensile strength from 1 to 30 MPa;
- and an elasticity modulus (E) (low stretch ratio) from 2 to 8 and an elasticity modulus (E) (high stretch ratio) from 6 to 90 MPa, wherein the low stretch elasticity modulus is less than the high stretch elasticity modulus.
A method for preparing a biofidelic conductive skin simulant, comprising forming a mixture of at least one siloxane having a Shore Hardness of from 00-0 to 40 A and a conductive material in a mold.
