The preparation of nanocomposite scaffolds for use in bone tissue engineering.
(AJBAS, 2013)
Bone is the second most frequently transplanted tissue in humans. There are 2.2 million
bone graft procedures annually, which have several disadvantages such as: donor site morbidity, risk of
disease transmission and a ...
Synthesis and characterisation of novel n-vinyl pyrrolidinone/acrylic acid copolymers for use in biomedical applications.
(2006)
The aim of this study was to develop a novel hydrophilic polymer for use in biomedical applications. The polymers synthesised in this work were based on the monomers N-vinyl pyrrolidinone (NVP) and acrylic acid (AA) and ...
Extruded monofilament and multifilament thermoplastic stitching yarns.
(MDPI, 2017-12)
Carbon fibre reinforced polymer composites offer significant improvement in overall
material strength to weight, when compared with metals traditionally used in engineering. As a
result, they are replacing metals where ...
Review of catheter-associated urinary tract infections and in vitro tract models.
(Hindawi, 2018-10)
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are one of the most common nosocomial infections and can lead to numerous medical complications from the mild catheter encrustation and bladder stones to the severe ...
Effect of Chemical Treatments and HDPE-g-MA on the physical and mechanical behaviour of HDPE/ natural fibre composites.
(2013)
Many authors have reported on the use of natural fibres (raw or chemically modified) as
reinforcing elements for high density polyethylene (HDPE). These materials have generated a lot of
interest due to their low cost ...
Synthesis and characterization of high density polyethylene / peat ash composites.
(Elsevier, 2016-06)
A new type of polymer composite was synthesized from one industrial waste, peat ash, at varying mixing ratios of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and the resulting products were characterized using different experiments ...
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 ...
Development of Amoxicillin loaded microspheres for anti-Helicobacter pylori infection using Ionic Gelation method
(IJASRM, 2017-11)
The aim of this project was to develop microspheres loaded with Amoxicillin for anti-Helicobacter pylori infection. Amoxicillin loaded microspheres were developed using blends of natural polymers such as Alginate and ...
Durum wheat seed germination response to hydrogel coatings and moisture under drought stress.
(Science Publications, 2016-11)
Abstract: Technologies that can increase crop production while
maintaining low pollution are essential for sustainable agriculture. This
study compares the germination performance of Durum wheat seeds
(Triticum durum ...
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 ...
