Enhancement of mechanical properties and wettability of TiO2NT arrays formed in simulated body fluid‐based electrolyte.
(Wiley, 2019-09-13)
Modified titanium nanotubes (TiO2NTs) coatings are grown in simulated body fluid (SBF) from Ticp and Ti6Al4V. The addition of 1% v/v of SBF to the electrolyte neither modifies film morphology nor the structural oxide ...
Analysis of the mechanical properties of solvent cast blends of PLA/PCL.
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014-09)
Polylactic acid (PLA) is the most promising material in the biodegradable category. However, brittleness and poor thermal stability restrict its application. To overcome this limitation, PLA may be blended with other ...
Effect of unidirectional freezing using a thermal camera on polyvinyl (alchohol) for aligned porous cyrogels.
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2020-03-18)
Unidirectional freeze casting for polymers and ceramics has been performed extensively; however, the mechanisms involved in unidirectional freezing are not thoroughly understood and therefore, in this study, polyvinyl ...
Enhancing the bioavailability of hydrophobic drugs using hot melt extrusion
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2018-04-24)
Many existing drugs (as well as new revelations) in the pharmaceutical industry bear a distinct disadvantage in the sense that they are not water soluble, displaying low bioavailability values and consequently a reduced ...
Preparation and characterization of novel poly(vinyl) (alcohol) (PVA) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) hydrogels for sensitive hydrogels.
(Sciforum, 2014-05)
Stimuli Sensitive hydrogels have enormous potential in various applications. Various
environmental variables are found in the body, such as low pH and elevated temperatures. For this
reason, either pH-sensitive and/or ...
In vitro fibroblast and pre-osteoblastic cellular responses on laser surface modified Ti-6AI-4V.
(IOP Publishing, 2014-12-29)
The success of any implant, dental or orthopaedic, is driven by the interaction of implant material with the surrounding tissue. In this context, the nature of the implant surface plays a direct role in determining the ...
Stability studies of hot-melt extruded ternary solid dispersions of poorly-water soluble Indomethacin with Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone-co-vinyl acetate) and polyethylene oxide.
(Elsevier, 2019-08)
This investigation aims to evaluate the effect of moisture and temperature on the physical
stability and dissolution behaviour of hot-melt extruded binary and plasticised ternary solid
dispersions. Poorly water-soluble ...
Electrospinning of hydrogels for biomedical applications
(Springer Nature, 2018)
The field of biomedical applications for hydrogels requires the development of nanostructures with specific controlled diameter and mechanical properties. Nanofibers are ideally candidates for these advanced requirements, ...
Development of a multi-layered vaginal tablet containing Dapivirine, Levonorgestrel and Acyclovir for use as a multipurpose prevention technology.
(Elsevier, 2016-07)
Multipurpose prevention technologies (MPTs) are preferably single dosage forms
designed to simultaneously address multiple sexual and reproductive health needs,
such as unintended pregnancy, HIV infection and other ...
Development of electrospun PVA nanofibers via freeze-thawing method
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2019)
The polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels are proven to have the benefits of improving water retention ability, cell attachment and controlled drug release in
medical device materials for pharmaceutical applications. Due to ...
