Crosslinked microneedle patch to extract interstitial fluid for diagnosis by Kang, Rong Jie

“…In this study, we have successfully developed a hydrogel microneedle based on hyaluronic acid derivative (methylcrylate modified hyaluronic acid, MeHA) and demonstrated its superior mechanical strength; having approximate 8 times the strength required for penetration into the skin. It was successfully penetrated into porcine cadaver skin, as well as the skin of a live mouse. …”

Free vibration properties of beetle elytron plate: Composite material, stacked structure and boundary conditions by Song, Yiheng, Hao, Ning, Ruan, Sihan, He, Chaochao, Quanjin, Ma

“…The results indicate that 1) the ranking of structural parameters on the 1st order frequency from a strong to weak sequence is as follows: length-to-width ratio, core height-to-thickness ratio, foam density and skin thickness; for the 2nd order natural frequency: length-to-width ratio, skin thickness, foam density and core height-to-thickness ratio. 2) Generally, an increase in the length-to-width ratio will reduce the frequency of the BEP, and increases in the core height-to-thickness ratio and skin thickness will raise its frequency. …”
