3D printed end of arm tooling (EOAT) of a robotic arm
Ong U Jing, Daniel; Lyons, Sean; Devine, Declan (Athlone Institute of Technology, 2018-04-24)This research furthers the practice of designing and manufacturing an EOAT for low weight applications by utilising additive manufacturing (“3D Printing”) techniques to decrease energy consumption via tool weight savings ... -
Development of drug eluting biodegradable nanocomposite for use in coronary stents
Venkatesh, Chaitra (Athlone Institute of Technology, 2021-07)Coronary stents are the scaffolds placed inside the blocked arteries, which aids the restoration of the passage of blood to the heart. Coronary stenting has become a standard medical procedure to treat coronary heart disease ... -
Dielectric polarization enhancement of thermoplastic elastomers for sensing and energy harvesting applications.
Poudel, Anup; Coffey, Austin; Kennedy, James; Lyons, Sean; Thomas, Ken; Walsh, Philip (IJMMM, 2016-11)Nano-structured dielectric thermoplastic elastomers (DTEs) such as poly(styrene-co-ethylene-co-butylene-styrene) [SEBS] and poly(styrene-co-ethylene-co-butylene-styrene) –grafted- maleic anhydride[SEBS-g-MA] triblock ... -
Electrospinning of hydrogels for biomedical applications
de Lima, Gabriel Goetten; Lyons, Sean; Devine, Declan M.; Nugent, Michael J.D. (Springer Nature, 2018)The field of biomedical applications for hydrogels requires the development of nanostructures with specific controlled diameter and mechanical properties. Nanofibers are ideally candidates for these advanced requirements, ... -
Nano-enhanced food contanct materials and the in vitro toxicity to human intestinal cells of nano-ZnO at low dose.
Ó Claonadh, Niall; Casey, Alan; Lyons, Sean; Higginbotham, Clement; Mukherjee, Sanchali Gupta; Chambers, Gordon (IOP Science, 2011)Nano Zinc Oxide (nZnO) has been shown to display antimicrobial effects which have lead to its application in a number of areas such as antimicrobial surface coatings, anti bacterial wound dressings and more recently in ... -
Novel technologies and optimised formulations for delivery of solid dispersion of BCS class II drugs
Hurley, Dean T. (Technological University of the Shannon: Midlands Midwest, 2023-06)The optimal design of amorphous solid dispersion (SD) formulations require the use of excipients to maintain supersaturation and improve physical stability in order to ensure shelf-life stability and better absorption ...
