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 ...
Antimicrobial films containing green synthesised zinc oxide nanoparticles for biomedical applications
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
Synthetic biomaterials have been vastly investigated for
different biomedical applications such as wound healing
adhesives, implant devices and drug delivery systems. The
effort on this field of study promoted the ...
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 ...
Investigation of a novel freeze-thaw process for the production of drug delivery hydrogels
(Springer, 2005-12)
Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) is a water-soluble, biocompatible and biodegradable polymer, which has been widely applied in biomedical fields. In this paper, novel physically cross-linked hydrogels composed of PVA and comprising ...
Development of biphasic drug delivery PVA/propolis electrospun nanofibres
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
The integration of nanotechnology into biomedical applications is called “nanomedicine”. Nanomedicine has the ability to change properties of materials at the molecular and atomic level [1]. Numerous methods have been ...
Development of novel PVA-based nanoparticles for delivery system for bone cancer applications
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
Osteosarcoma is one of the most frequent bone cancers with almost 30% of patients developin metastasis [1,2]. Further study is needed to develop new drugs that avoid metastasis. There is experimental evidence that chalcones, ...
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 ...
Preparation of a novel freeze thawed poly (vinly alcohol) composite hydrogel for drug delivery applications
(Elsevier, 2007-09)
Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) is a water-soluble, biocompatible and biodegradable polymer, which has been widely applied in biomedical fields. In this paper, novel physically cross-linked hydrogels composed of PVA and comprising ...
