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 ...
Transfer and optimisation of injection moulding manufacture of medical devices using scientific moulding principles
(MDPI, 2021-10-25)
Scientific moulding, also known as decoupled injection moulding, is a production methodology used to develop and determine robust moulding processes resilient to fluctuations caused by variation in temperature and viscosity. ...
Application of biomaterials for complex anal fistulae
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-11-07)
Complex anal fistulae remain a challenge for the medical sector as conventional treatments put
patients at risk of incontinence. Clinicians and researchers have become interested in the application
of bioresorbable ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
