Abstract
The electrochemotherapy is an effective treatment that requires the application of an intense electric field to the tumoral tissue to open the cellular membrane and deliver drugs. This work will present the results of the ongoing research project, showing a new technology and design geometry that allows to realize flexible electrodes able to wrap biological tissues bringing the necessary electric field intensity for the electroporation of cells to reach a unique penetration depth to the centimeter range. The flexible electrode is realized by conversion of porous silicon into nano-porous metals (copper and/or gold) filled by a biocompatible thermoplastic polymer. © 2011 IEEE.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
