Numerical Evaluation on Residual Thermal Stress-Induced Delamination at PDMS–Metal Interface of Neural Prostheses

The most common failure mode of implantable neural implants has been delamination of layers in compound structures and encapsulations in a wet body environment. Current knowledge of failure mechanisms of adhesion and its standardized test procedures are lacking and must be established. This study de...
