Abstract
[en] The stimulation of the vagus nerve allows a decrease in the frequency of seizures in epileptic people. The neurostimulators currently on the market are not compatible with MRIs, yet monitoring these patients by medical imaging would be very interesting. Therefore, Synergia decided to create a glass implant and reinforce it with resin. This combination causes many breakage problems, which is what my work will focus on. A first goal is to understand why some resins cause the glass encapsulation to break and others do not. A second goal is to be able to propose more advantageous resins than those currently used.
