Creating long-lasting facial prosthetics for India's climate
Medical-grade silicones sourced from cooler countries often break down, turn yellow, and rip when exposed to India's harsh UV rays and extreme 50-degree Celsius temperatures. To address this, a team of researchers from IIT Delhi and AIIMS New Delhi has created a specialized RTV silicone elastomer. This new material is designed to withstand tropical weather, resulting in facial prosthetics that remain durable for a longer period.
