Article Abstract
We propose the use of a specially designed polyurethane foam with a plateau region in its mechanical characteristics-where stress remains nearly constant during deformation-between the electromyography (EMG) electrode and clothing to suppress motion artifacts in EMG measurement. Wearable EMG devices are receiving attention for monitoring muscle weakening due to aging. However, daily EMG measurement has been challenging due to motion artifacts caused by changes in the contact pressure between the bioelectrode and the skin. Therefore, this study aims to measure EMG signals in daily movement environments by controlling the contact pressure using polyurethane foam between the bioelectrode on the clothing and the skin. Through mechanical calculations and finite element method simulations of the polyurethane foam's effect, we clarified that the characteristics of the polyurethane foam significantly influence contact pressure control and that the contact pressure is adjustable through the polyurethane foam thickness. The optimization of the design successfully controlled the contact pressure between the bioelectrode and skin from 1.0 kPa to 2.0 kPa, effectively suppressing the motion artifact in EMG measurement.

The use of highly flammable materials such as foams, resins, and plastics has led to an increase in the frequency and severity of urban fires worldwide. To address this issue, this study developed a high-specific-surface-area mesoporous metal-organic framework (Fe-MOFs) with heat trapping and smoke adsorption. The Fe-MOFs, zinc tailings (ZTs), piperazine pyrophosphate (PAPP), and sodium lignosulfonate (LS) were used to modify rigid polyurethane foam (RPUF).

The development of industry and technology, despite making everyday life easier, generates large amounts of various wastes that negatively affect the environment. Unexpected leaks of substances such as oils, petroleum substances, and chemicals also contribute to the degradation of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Long-term effects of environmental pollution require the development of advanced materials and technologies to collect and neutralize pollutants.

Background: Baseplate fixation is a crucial step in reverse shoulder arthroplasty and presents a challenge when faced with deformities, or glenoid bone loss. Utilization of newer baseplates that are augmented to account for bone loss may provide equivalent stability to standard baseplates without bone loss. The purpose of this biomechanical study was to compare modern designs by evaluating three baseplates: (1) a one-piece monoblock design (RSP), (2) a two-piece non-locking baseplate (neutral) without bone loss and (3) a two-piece non-locking design with a wedge augment (wedge) with asymmetric bone loss.
