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 ...
Pathogen displacement during intermittent catheter insertion: a novel in vitro urethra model.
(Wiley, 2019-11-29)
Aim: To develop a novel in vitro urethra model and use it to determine if insertion of an intermittent urinary catheter (IC) displaces pathogenic bacteria from the urethral meatus along the urethra. Methods: Displacement ...
Optimizing the hardness of SLA printed objects by using the neural netwok and genetic algorithm
(Elsevier, 2019-06)
In the developing field of manufacturing, 3D printing is rapidly increasing the horizon of what is possible. However, the possibility of implementing new 3D methods of production has brought new challenges for industries, ...
An investigation of the inter-molecular interaction, solid-state properties and dissolution properties of mixed Copovidone hot-melt extruded solid dispersions.
(Elsevier, 2019-10)
Previous research has focused on spray dried quaternary mixtures which due to the addition of a surfactant 26 affected the physical stability and amorphous stability of selected model drugs. Very little research has 27 ...
Synthesis and in vivo evaluation of a scaffold containing wollastonite/β‐TCP for bone repair in a rabbit tibial defect model.
(Wiley Online Library, 2019-08-08)
Scaffolds are models designed to aid the interaction between cells and extracellular bone matrix, providing structural support for newly formed bone tissue. In this work, wollastonite with β‐TCP porous ceramic scaffolds ...
3D printed polymers are less stable than injection moulded counterparts when exposed to terminal sterilization processes using novel vaporized hydrogen peroxide and electron beam processes.
(Elsevier, 2019-11-21)
There is an increasing trend for use of 3D printing processes in healthcare due in part to emergence of customised medical devices and associated low manufacturing cost. However, there is a dearth of knowledge on the ...
Additive manufacturing of personalized pharmaceutical dosage forms via stereolithography.
(MDPI, 2019-12-03)
The introduction of three-dimensional printing (3DP) has created exciting possibilities for
the fabrication of dosage forms, paving the way for personalized medicine. In this study, oral dosage
forms of two drug ...
Additive manufacturing of PLA/HNT nanocomposites for biomedical applications
(Elsevier, 2019)
Additive manufacturing has been of great interest of research in various applications due to their ease in processability, cost effectiveness and adaptability. In this study Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) was used as the base ...
Nanofillers can be used to enhance the thermal conductivity of commercially available SLA resins.
(Elsevier, 2019-06)
Stereolithography (SLA) is a form of 3D printing technology used for the production parts and patterns in a layer by layer fashion. Traditionally, 3D printing has been used for the manufacture of prototypes, however it is ...
Titanium-niobium alloys covered by electrospinning technique to applications in bone implants
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2019)
Recently, to avoid toxic metals in the human environment, there are many efforts to produce alloys containing titanium Ti and niobium Nb. Nb is a powerful stabilizer of
beta-titanium phase[1]. Depending on the composition ...
