Material testing, design & construction of a laboratory-scale FRP composite.
(ACIC, 2017-09)
Pedestrian loading on flexible structures such as footbridges, grandstands and lightweight floors is an area, which is receiving significant attention from the research community of late. One of the key parameters in ...
An investigation into the effects of pH and material concentrations on the morphology of Chitosan-Alginate microspheres prepared using an Ionic Gelation technique.
(IJASRM, 2017-10)
The aim of this study was to develop microspheres as
a drug delivery system using natural polymeric
materials including Alginate and Chitosan using an
Ionotropic Gelation method of synthesis. In this
study, several ...
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, ...
Investigation of ethylene oxide-co-propylene oxide for dissolution enhancement of hot-melt extruded solid dispersions.
(Elsevier, 2018-02)
The optimal design of amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) formulations requires the use of excipients to maintain supersaturation and improve physical stability in order to ensure shelf-life stability and better absorption ...
Extraction method plays critical role in antibacterial activity of propolis loaded hydrogels.
(Elsevier, 2016-03)
Extracted propolis has been used for a long time as a remedy. However, if the release rate of propolis is not controlled, the efficacy is reduced. To overcome this issue, extracted propolis was added to a cryogel system. ...
Reinforced polylactic acid for use in high strength biodegradable medical implants.
(2016)
Traditional medical implants, such as orthopedic screws, pins, and
coronary stents, are almost exclusively metallic due to high mechanical
strength requirements. However, issues related to the use of permanent
metallic ...
A novel pH‐sensitive ceramic‐hydrogel for biomedical applications.
(Wiley, 2015-12)
Innovations on the field of smart hydrogels are now being held with loads of advantages. With recent progress, smart polymers can now be used on the market for specific target/objectives desired on medicine. However, the ...
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 ...
Surface modified halloysite nanotubes reinforced polylactic acid for use in biodegradable coronary stents.
(Wiley, 2019-08)
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was reinforced halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) in this study. To improve dispersion and interfacial adhesion of HNTs within the PLA matrix, HNTs were surface modified with 3‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane ...
Alfa fiber/polypropylene composites: Influence of fiber extraction method and chemical treatments.
(Wiley, 2019-01)
Alfa fiber/polypropylene composites were manufactured using twin-screw extrusion. Fibers were extracted following alkaline and steam explosion methods. Three chemical treatments were also applied to alkaline extracted ...
