    Area of Science:

    • Biomaterials Science
    • Prosthetics Engineering
    • Polymer Science

    Background:

    • Silicone prostheses are widely used but can suffer from poor surface properties.
    • Current linings may not offer optimal adhesion, durability, wettability, or resistance to microbial growth.
    • Improving these characteristics is crucial for patient comfort and prosthesis longevity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify an effective material for lining silicone prostheses.
    • To enhance key surface properties including adhesion, tear resistance, wettability, smoothness, and fungal resistance.
    • To develop a fabrication technique for incorporating the lining into silicone prostheses.

    Main Methods:

    • Extensive testing of various lining materials for silicone prostheses.
