Equi-biaxial stretcher of a thin membrane
Value PropositionThe approach:ΓÇóEffectively transfers a vertical load for a horizontal displacementΓÇóIs highly efficient and cost effective as compared to conventional approachesΓÇóDoesnΓÇÖt require adherence of membrane samples onto substrates as required for conventional techniquesΓÇóAvoids variation in quality of results due to substrate variation as observed with conventional techniquesΓÇóAllows for stretching of the membrane into 8 directions as compared to 4 directions in the case of prior-art approachesΓÇóWould be commercially useful for the following applications:o Assessment of bio-membranes such as in skin, lenses, and heart valves as in the case of the pharmaceutical and biotech industrieso Food service industryo Other industries
