Week 9 - Alex

- worked on gluing together a sac 

-burned holes and it did not melt the way I expected it to (silicone might have been a bit to thin for that process)

    - did not get pictures because it got completely messed up 

-the super glue came apart when I tried to stretch it apart the waterproof glue worked better but still came apart a little bit


-water proof shoe glue worked best 


-possible glue that we can use 








-that was cleaner and put more glue and let it dry for a longer amount of time to hopefully stick it together better

- worked on what works and what doesn't list

Week 9 - Brinkley

 This week was a lot of testing and research. I am still working on the dissolving component and figure out that data, which will make more sense with time hopefully. When we were in the capstone block, we did a couple of shakedowns, we did a brief resistor in parallel test that worked great, Fady set up the sensors, and we modified parts we already had to make them work for shakedowns.  The research I did this week was about materials. I researched silicone sheets, silicone molding, glue, and sutures. For each category I found biocompatible and regular options. The regular options are much cheaper and easier to get.  Here are the links to the products I found:  Research Mold and Curing Silicone:  Biocompatible: https://www.elkem.com/silicones/offer/healthcare/medical-grade/liquid-silicone-rubber/ I would suggest soft or mid durometer because it would be less preventative of the tube expanding. Less resistance. Another option is:  https://products-silicones...
