A new McMaster innovation could reshape how silicone is used in medical implants and devices.
Led by Chem Eng PhD candidate Norma Garza Flores, an interdisciplinary research team developed a new silicone material that resists clotting and reduces the body’s foreign body response while maintaining the flexibility and strength surgeons value in medical-grade silicone.
A collab between Mac Eng and Health Sci, the team achieved this by chemically bonding the polymer directly to the silicone network, rather than applying a surface coating.
Learn more about the work that lays the foundation for safer, more durable medical devices in future clinical applications at the link in bio.
These are the powers you’ll gain with a Mac Eng degree, including from our new nuclear engineering program!
Thank you to everyone who came out to this year’s May @ Mac! We loved welcoming future students to campus and sharing what Mac Eng and our Fireball Family is all about.
Special thanks to Mac Eng Musical for letting us use their music to recap May @ Mac!
