Varying material thickness of silicone rubber for tunable nitric oxide release

In this study, SR is used in the first analysis of how a polymer's thickness affects the storage and uptake of an NO donor and subsequent release properties. Observed NO release trends show that a polymer's thickness results in tunable NO release. These results indicate how crucial a polymer's thickness is to optimize the NO release in an efficient and effective method.
