Industrial Engineering Mechanical Engineering Polymers Veterinary Services Many applications in engineering and medicine require a flexible, ‘bag-like’ device that can withstand large amounts of internal and external pressure. In medicine, these devices are used to control the pressure of urethras and blood vessels in urethral and vascular occlusion procedures, respectively. Currently these devices are made by stacking two flat sheets of silicone and gluing them together at their edges. This eliminates the benefit of silicon’s high strength, and the strength of the device becomes limited by the properties and application of the glue. This report outlines the research and approach of using platinum cure silicone to make a one-piece, hollow device capable of withstanding significant internal and external pressures. An apparatus was designed to manufacture these devices, and a full factorial experiment was implemented to help define the manufacturing parameters. Success was defined by enclosure of the void as well as uniformity of the device along each of its faces. This report will outline the procedural and technical specifics needed to create the devices. The results of these findings can not only improve the success rate of certain procedures already using similar devices (vascular and urethral occlusion), but can be implemented to improve any process where a strong, flexible part with an internal void is required. 2011-07-25 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1306516214 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1306516214 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
