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 ...
Material considerations for fused-filament fabrication of solid dosage forms.
(MDPI, 2018-04)
Material choice is a fundamental consideration when it comes to designing a solid dosage
form. The matrix material will ultimately determine the rate of drug release since the physical
properties (solubility, viscosity, ...
Characteristics of the treated calcium carbonate particles with stearic acid using different treating methods.
(Elsevier, 2016-08)
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is often treated with stearic acid (SA) to decrease its polarity. However, the method of application of the SA treatments has a strong influence on their interface structure and distribution. ...
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 ...
Surface modified halloysite nanotubes reinforced polylactic acid for use in biodegradable coronary stents.
(Wiley, 2019-08)
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was reinforced halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) in this study. To improve dispersion and interfacial adhesion of HNTs within the PLA matrix, HNTs were surface modified with 3‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane ...
Reinforced polylactic acid for use in high strength biodegradable medical implants.
(2016)
Traditional medical implants, such as orthopedic screws, pins, and
coronary stents, are almost exclusively metallic due to high mechanical
strength requirements. However, issues related to the use of permanent
metallic ...
Development of novel monolithic matrices for drug delivery using conventional and non-conventional polymer processing technologies.
(2007)
The aim of this study was to produce a range of polymer based monolithic matrices
for controlled oral drug delivery using conventional polymer processing equipment. Poly
(ethylene oxide) (PEO) was chosen as the primary ...
Micro-injection moulding of poly(vinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate) binary and ternary amorphous solid dispersions.
(MDPI, 2019-05)
Micro-injection moulding (µIM) was used for the production of enteric tablets of plasticised
and unplasticised solid dispersions of poly(vinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate) (PVPVA), and the effect
of the mechanical and thermal ...
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 ...
Photopolymerization for filling porous ceramic matrix: improvement of mechanical properties and drug delivering behaviour.
(Wiley, 2019-04)
This work presents the photopolymerisation of composite scaffolds where a prefabricated ceramic scaffold was impregnated with poly(ethylene) glycol dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) macromonomer solution. The PEGDMA solution penetrates ...
