The first triboelectric-nanogenerator (TENG)-based self-powered implantable drug-delivery system is presented. Pumping flow rates from 5.3 to 40 µL min under different rotating speeds of the TENG are realized. The implantable drug-delivery system can be powered with a TENG device rotated by human hand motion. Ex vivo trans-sclera drug delivery in porcine eyes is demonstrated by utilizing the biokinetic energies of human hands.
本文提出了首个基于摩擦纳米发电机(TENG)的自供能植入式药物输送系统。在 TENG 的不同旋转速度下,实现了 5.3 至 40 µL min 的泵送流速。该植入式药物输送系统可以由 TENG 设备驱动,该 TENG 设备由人手运动旋转。通过利用人手的生物动力学能量,在猪眼的巩膜外进行了药物输送。
