Self-healing, 3D printable silicone formulation
![](/en/industry/industry/techoffer/_jcr_content/par/textimage_851c/image.imageformat.textdouble.910933755.jpg)
Self-healing and creep-resistant silicones enhance the durability of surgical phantoms, soft robotic actuators, and hydraulic tubings. Human intervention in repairing mechanical damage is reduced. Complex-shaped parts with spatially tuned mechanical properties improve the performance of stretchable electronics. Downloadfactsheet (PDF, 452 KB)vertical_align_bottom
Lipid nanoparticles as harmless pathogen proxies for monitoring surface and hand disinfection
![cleaning surface](/en/industry/industry/techoffer/_jcr_content/par/textimage_c6ff/image.imageformat.textdouble.1863547466.png)
Lipid nanoparticles act as surrogates for micro-organisms and help determine the effectiveness of cleaning and disinfection procedures. Validation of surface and hand disinfection becomes faster and more sensitive, facilitating hygienic processes and conditions in GMP and healthcare environments.

Zero-?power event detection for waking up smart devices
![zero-power sensor](/en/industry/industry/techoffer/_jcr_content/par/textimage_71bb/image.imageformat.textdouble.825604119.jpg)
This zero-?power sensor transforms vibrations into electric signals. It activates smart devices which have been switched off completely using the energy of the trigger event. Smart devices with zero-?power sensors, thus, save energy in their dormant state while remaining ready for relevant triggers.
