TEHRAN (ISNA)- Iranian researchers at Amir Kabir Poly Technique University jointly with Harvard scientists have managed to build low-price biodegradable and biocompatible electronic parts to be applied inside of human body.
Electronic parts have been vastly used in daily life especially in medical domains. Manufacture of implantable parts, smart dressings and even sensors used in foodstuff are some functions of the products.

However, low flexibility of circuits and electronic parts as well as unwanted reactions in body are some limitations in this field.

Alireza Hassani Najafabadi, holding PhD from Amir Kabir Poly Technique University and a researcher at Harvard University who is also the lead author of the study said, "The project aims to make an appropriate bed for low-price electronic parts in a biocompatible and biodegradable form. The parts are compact and lightweight and can be easily used by patients."

The electro method used in the study preserves elastic and biological properties of the parts and improves health of the patients, lessens side effects and facilitates direct use of the parts in human body.

"The outcomes of the project can be used in health industries, pharmacy, medical engineering, medicines and many other medicines."

He also noted that the product can be mass produced soon.

The results of the study have been published in Advanced Materials Journal.
