3D printed end of arm tooling (EOAT) for robotic automation.
(MDPI, 2018-09)
This research furthers the practice of designing and manufacturing End of Arm Tooling
(EOAT) by utilizing a low cost additive manufacturing Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) technique
to enable tool weight saving and ...
The production of solid dosage forms from non-degradable polymers.
(Bentham Science, 2015)
Non-degradable polymers have an important function in medicine. Solid dosage forms for longer term implantation require to be constructed from materials that will not degrade or erode over time and also offer the utmost ...
Development of a versatile monitoring technique for real-time protein activity tracking within cellular environment and biomimetic tissue engineering scaffold systems
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
Crowded cellular environments with complex and intricate
molecular interactions underpin biological processes. High
biological noise is intrinsic within these biological systems, and this
poses critical challenges to ...
A quality of experience evaluation of augmented reality and haptic feedback in a low-cost gait analysis system
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
Gait analysis is a technique that is used to understand movement patterns and, in some cases, to inform the development of rehabilitation protocols. Traditional rehabilitation approaches have relied on expert guided feedback ...
Injectable bone substitute based on chitosan with polyethylene glycol polymeric solution and biphasic calcium phosphate microspheres.
(Elsevier, 2020-06-10)
We described a method to produce an injectable bone substitute consisting of a solid and liquid phase, this solid was formed using the coacervation method consisting of a mixture of Hydroxyapatite (HAp) and beta-Tricalcium ...
Composite cryogels for dual drug delivery and enhanced mechanical properties.
(Wiley, 2018-04)
In this study, we present a simple and effective process that integrates hydrogels with drugs + ceramics via physical crosslinks resulting in improved mechanical properties. These cryogels have the potential for controlled ...
Macro and micro routes to high performance bioplastics: bioplastic biodegradability and mechanical and barrier properties
(MDPI, 2021-06-30)
: On a score sheet for plastics, bioplastics have a medium score for combined mechanical
performance and a high score for biodegradability with respect to counterpart petroleum-based
plastics. Analysis quickly confirms ...
Oriented polymeric sheets exhibiting dichroism and articles containing the same.
(2007-12-20)
Provided is an oriented polymeric sheet comprising a photochromic-dichroic material, wherein the sheet exhibits dichroism in an activated state. Also provided is a multilayer composite comprising at least a support layer ...
Effect of thermal annealing on a bilayer polyvinyl alcohol/polyacrylic acid electrospun hydrogel nanofibres loaded with doxorubicin and clarithromycin for a synergism effect against osteosarcoma cells
(Elsevier, 2021-08-02)
Polyvinyl alcohol/polyacrylic acid (PVA/PAA) bilayer hydrogel nanofibres were successfully fabricated by
electrospinning and physically crosslinked via heat treatment. The effects of the thermal annealing
process on the ...
Review of multifarious applications of Poly (lactic acid)
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
Poly (lactic acid) is considered to be a promising alternative to petroleum-based polymers due to its renewability, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and good mechanical properties. Because of the high cost, the applications ...
