In Silico Design of a Biodegradable Endoscopic Ultrasound Transducer
09-20, 11:30–11:50 (Europe/Vienna), Conference room

In this work we examine the applicability of biocompatible, biodegradable, natural piezoelectric materials such as the amino acid glycine to replace traditional PZT (lead zirconate titanate) as the active element in endoscopic ultrasound transducer. The work is carried out in silico using COMSOL Multiphysics software.
