Development of high strength nanocomposite for biodegradable stents
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2018-04-24)
The use of biodegradable polymer materials are considered to be good alternatives in urology (Donohue et. al. 2018), cardiovascular (Brie et. al. 2016) and tracheal airway stenosis which provide support before it is absorbed ...
Hybrid manufacturing 3D printing and injection moulding in the pursuit of mass customization
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
Project Overview:
Mass customization is a marketing and manufacturing technique which combines the flexibility and personalization of custom-made products with the low unit costs associated with mass production. The ...
Preparation of biodegradable poltyethylene glycol dimethacrylate hydrogels via thiol-ene chemistry.
(MDPI, 2019-08-13)
Through the control of the molecular weight, water content and monomer concentration, polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) based hydrogels have been adapted for numerous applications, including as structural scaffolds, ...
Influence of extrusion screw speed on the properties of halloysite nanotube impregnated polylactic acid nanocomposites
(De Gruyter, 2021)
Poly (lactic acid)/halloysite nanotube (PLA/HNT)
nanocomposites have been studiedextensively over the past
fewyears owing to the interesting properties of the polymer,
PLA, and the nanoclay, HNT, individually and as ...
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. ...
A bilayer vaginal tablet for the localized delivery of disulfiram and 5-fluorouracil to the cervix
(MDPI, 2020-12-06)
This study was performed to develop an adjuvant therapy in the form of a self-administered
vaginal tablet regimen for the localized delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs. This therapy will help to
reduce relapse by eradicating ...
Mass customization of polylactic acid (PLA) parts via a hybrid manufacturing process
(MDPI, 2022-12-10)
Mass customization is the development of items tailored to specific customers, but
produced at low unit cost in high-volume. In this context, hybrid manufacturing (HM) combines
fused deposition modeling (FDM) and injection ...
