Characterization of the Viscoelastic Fracture of Solvated Semi-Interpenetrating Polymer Network Silicone Hydrogels
The unique compressive, optical, and biocompatible properties of silicone hydrogels allow them to be used in a wide variety of applications in the biomedical field. However, the relatively weak mechanical behavior, as well as the highly deformable nature of these elastomeric materials, presents a m...
