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 ...
Biodegradable medical implants
(De Gruyter, 2019)
Processing and characterisation of various polymer blends to develop implant for tissue engineering applications.
(AESS, 2013)
In the past two decades, the repair and reconstruction of musculoskeletal tissues using
biodegradable scaffold materials has emerged as one of the most promising approaches in tissue
engineering. The aim of this study ...
Vaginal drug delivery for the localised treatment of cervical cancer.
(Springer, 2017-06-08)
Cervical cancer is usually treated by surgery, with
the more advanced cancers requiring adjuvant chemotherapy
or radiotherapy. The location of the cervix makes it easily
accessible through the vagina for the localised ...
The relationship between pedestrian loading and dynamic response of an FRP composite footbridge.
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Halloysite nanotube reinforced polylactic acid composite.
(Wiley, 2017-10)
Polylactic acid (PLA) has long history in medical applications, and reinforced PLA has the potential to be used in the medical applications that require high mechanical strength such as coronary stents and bone fixation ...
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 temperature and pH sensitive physically crosslinked poly(N-vinylcaprolactam-co-itaconic acid) hydrogels for drug delivery.
(MDPI, 2019-08-29)
Previous studies involving poly N-vinylcaprolactam (PNVCL) and itaconic acid (IA) have synthesised the hydrogels with the presence of a solvent and a crosslinker, producing chemically crosslinked hydrogel systems. In this ...
