Buckley, Jeffrey; Adams, Latif; Aribilola, Ifeoluwapo; Arshad, Iram; Azeem, Muhammad; Bracken, Lauryn; Breheny, Colette; Buckley, Ciara; Chimello, Ismael; Fagan, Alison; Fitzpatrick, Daniel P.; Herrera, Diana Garza; Gomes, Guilherme Daniel; Grassick, Shaun; Halligan, Elaine; Hirway, Amit; Hyland, Tómas; Imtiaz, Muhammad Babar; Khan, Muhammad Bilal; Lanzagorta Garcia, Eduardo; Lennon, Paul; Manaf, Eyman; Meng, Jing; Sufian, Mohd Sufino Zuhaily; Moraes, Adrielle; Osterwald, Katja Magdalena; Platonava, Anastasia; Reid, Clodagh; Renard, Michèle; Rodriguez-Barroso, Laura G.; Simonassi-Paiva, Biana; Singh, Maulshree; Szamk, Tomaz; Tahir, Mehwish; Vijayakumar, Sowmya; Ward, Cormac; Yan, Xinyu; Zainol, Ismin; Zhang, Lin (Springer, 2021-08-20)A high level of transparency in reported research is critical for several reasons, such as ensuring an acceptable level of trustworthiness and enabling replication. Transparency in qualitative research permits the ... -
A development of new material for 4D printing and the material properties comparison between the conventional and stereolithography polymerised NVCL hydrogels
Zhuo, Shuo; Geever, Luke M.; Halligan, Elaine; Tie, Billy Shu Hieng; Breheny, Colette (MDPI, 2022-11-22)The term 4D printing refers to the idea that the shape or properties of a printed object can be changed when an external stimulus is applied. In this contribution, a temperature-responsive polymer Poly (N-vinyl caprolactam) ... -
Development of smart 4-D materials utilising novel self assembly polymers
Halligan, Elaine; Hayes, Conor; Geever, Luke (2020-06)4D printing is a technique that uses a 3 D printer to create objects that change their shape overtime 4 D printing involves the use of smart materials that will transform when exposed to an external stimuli These can ... -
Lower critical solution temperature tuning and swelling behaviours of NVCL-based hydrogels for potential 4DF printing applications.
Zhuo, Shuo; Halligan, Elaine; Tie, Billy Shu Hieng; Breheny, Colette; Geever, Luke M. (MDPI, 2022-08-02)The phase transitions of poly (N-vinyl caprolactam) (PNVCL) hydrogels are currently under investigation as possible materials for biomedical applications thanks to their thermosensitive properties. This study aims to use ... -
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 ... -
Modulation of the lower critical solution temperature of thermoresponsive poly(N-vinylcaptrolactam) utlizing hydrophilic and hydrophobic monomers
Halligan, Elaine; Zhuo, Shuo; Colbert, Declan Mary; Alsaadi, Mohamad; Tie, Billy Shu Hieng; Bezerra, Gilberto S.N.; Keane, Gavin; Geever, Luke M. (MDPI, 2023-03-23)Four-dimensional printing is primarily based on the concept of 3D printing technology. However, it requires additional stimulus and stimulus-responsive materials. Poly-N-vinylcaprolactam is a temperature-sensitive polymer. ... -
Synthesis and characterisation of hydrogels based on poly (N-vinylcaprolactam) with diethylene glycol diacrylate
Halligan, Elaine; Tie, Billy Shu Hieng; Colbert, Declan Mary; Alsaadi, Mohamad; Zhuo, Shuo; Keane, Gavin; Geever, Luke M. (MDPI, 2023-05)Poly (N-vinylcaprolactam) is a polymer that is biocompatible, water-soluble, thermally sensitive, non-toxic, and nonionic. In this study, the preparation of hydrogels based on Poly (N-vinylcaprolactam) with diethylene ... -
Synthesis and characterization of 4D-printed NVCL-coDEGDA resin using stereolithography 3D printing
Halligan, Elaine; Tie, Billy Shu Hieng; Colbert, Declan Mary; Alsaadi, Mohamad; Zhou, Shuo; Keane, Gavin; Geever, Luke M. (MDPI, 2024-03-19)The design and manufacturing of objects in various industries have been fundamentally altered by the introduction of D-dimensional (3D) and four-dimensional (4D) printing technologies. Four-dimensional printing, a ... -
Synthesis of NVCL-NIPAM hydrogels using PEGMA as a chemical crosslinker for controlled swelling behaviours in potential shapeshifting applications
Tie, Bill Shu Hieng; Halligan, Elaine; Zhuo, Shuo; Keane, Gavin; Geever, Luke (MDPI, 2023-03-20)Stimuli-responsive hydrogels have recently gained interest within shapeshifting applications due to their capabilities to expand in water and their altering swelling properties when triggered by stimuli, such as pH and ...
