Mass-customization of oral tablets via the combination of 3D printing and injection molding.
(Elsevier, 2019-10-05)
The new frontier of medicine is the personalization of treatment to match a patient’s individual needs. Fused-filament fabrication (FFF) offers a platform for the personalization of drug dosage forms, but one of its chief ...
Influence of annealing and biaxial expansion on the properties of Poly-l-lactic) medical tubing.
(MDPI, 2019-07-11)
Poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) is one of the most common bioabsorbable materials in the medical
device field. However, its use in load-bearing applications is limited due to its inferior mechanical
properties when compared ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
Material considerations for fused-filament fabrication of solid dosage forms.
(MDPI, 2018-04-02)
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, ...
Polymer based additive manufacturing historical developments, process types and material considerations.
(Springer Nature, 2019)
3D printing is a manufacturing technique where parts are built in a layer-by-layer fashion. The earliest embodiments were based on generating successive layers of solidified materials at the air liquid interface through ...
Fused-filament fabrication of PEEK: a review of process-structure-property relationships.
(MDPI, 2020-07-27)
Poly (ether ether ketone) (PEEK) is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic polymer
with potential for use in a variety of metal replacement applications due to its high strength to weight
ratio. This combination ...
Comparison of fused-filament fabrication to direct compression and injection molding in the manufacture of oral tablets.
(Elsevier, 2019-03-10)
Oral tablets are a convenient form to deliver active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and have a high level of acceptance from clinicians and patients. There is a wide range of excipients available for the fabrication of ...
The influence of low shear microbore extrusion on the properties of high molecular weight poly(l-lactic acid) for medical tubing applications.
(MDPI, 2019-04)
Biodegradable polymers play a crucial role in the medical device field, with a broad range
of applications such as suturing, drug delivery, tissue engineering, sca olding, orthopaedics, and
fixation devices. Poly-l-lactic ...
