Development of novel polymeric delivery systems for the controlled release of therapeutic agents to prevent the spread of Zoonotic diseases
Silva Nunes Bezerra, Gilberto (Technological University of the Shannon: Midlands Midwest, 2023-07)The agricultural revolution and related activities have led to new connections between humans and farm animals, which are expected to expand due to the global trade of livestock and growth in the demand for animal protein ... -
The development of novel smart colour change polymer materials via various melt processing techniques
Breheny, Colette; Geever, Luke; Geever, Joseph (Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)Smart polymers or stimuli-responsive polymers undergo large reversible changes, whether physical or chemical, in their properties as a consequence of small environmental variations. They can respond to a single stimulus ... -
Formulation and evaluation of Fenbendazole extended-release extrudes processed by hot-melt extrusion
Bezerra, Gilberto S.; de Lima, Tielidy A. de M.; Colbert, Declan M.; Geever, Joseph; Geever, Luke M. (MDPI, 2022-10-06)This study aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of hot-melt extrusion in the development of extended-release formulations of Fenbendazole (Fen) dispersed in PEO/PCL blend-based matrices. Their thermal, physical, chemical ... -
Long-term release rate of a nutritional supplement from a biodegradable polymer matrix
Colbert, Declan; Geever, Joseph; Geever, Luke (Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)For the purposes of ruminant nutrition, a 6-month timeframe is the ideal amount of time for the delivery of trace element and minerals. As a starting element, copper was chosen as it is the most commonly observed trace ... -
Micro-injection mouding of PEO/PCL blend-based matrices for extended oral delivery of Fenbendazole
Bezerra, Gilberto S.N.; Goetten de Lima, Gabriel Goetten; Colbert, Declan M.; Halligan, Elaine; Geever, Joseph (MDPI, 2023-03-10)Fenbendazole (FBZ) is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic administered orally to ruminants; nevertheless, its poor water solubility has been the main limitation to reaching satisfactory and sustained levels at the site of the ...
