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 ...
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 ...
Faster release of lumen-loaded drugs than matrix-loaded equivalent in polylactic acid/halloysite nanotubes.
(MDPI, 2019-06-15)
Nanocomposite-based drug delivery systems with intrinsic controlled release properties are of great interest in biomedical applications. We report a novel polylactic acid (PLA)/halloysite nanotube (HNT) nanocomposite-based ...
Investigation of the effects of orientation on freeze/thawed Polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel properties.
(Elsevier, 2018-12)
Although hydrogels produced via freeze-thawing (F/T) technique have been thoroughly studied in literature, stretching hydrogels in between freeze-thawing cycles could change its properties and might be modulated for drug ...
The production of a novel poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel cryogenic spheres for immediate release using a droplet system.
(IOP Science, 2019-06-05)
Although freeze-thaw mechanism for producing crosslinked hydrogels is relatively easy and simple, it
lacks sufficient integrity and support leading to modifications on its three-dimensional polymeric
network arrangement ...
Synthesis and characterisation of novel temperature and pH sensitive physically crosslinked poly(N-vinylcaprolactam-co-itaconic acid) hydrogels for drug delivery.
(MDPI, 2019-08-29)
Previous studies involving poly N-vinylcaprolactam (PNVCL) and itaconic acid (IA) have synthesised the hydrogels with the presence of a solvent and a crosslinker, producing chemically crosslinked hydrogel systems. In this ...
