Comparison of fused-filament fabrication to direct compression and injection molding in the manufacture of oral tablets.
(Elsevier, 2019-03-10)
Oral tablets are a convenient form to deliver active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and have a high level of acceptance from clinicians and patients. There is a wide range of excipients available for the fabrication of ...
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 ...
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 in vivo behaviour of PVP/CMC/Agar hydrogel membranes impregnated with silver nanoparticles for wound healing applications.
(ACS, 2018)
The field of wound healing has seen an increase in research activity in wound care and hydrogel-based dressings have been targeted as a solution for these applications. Hydrogels with silver nanoparticles can present many ...
Antimicrobial active bioplastics using triangular silver nano-plate integrated polycaprolactone and polylactic acid films
(MDPI, 2021-02-28)
An innovative antimicrobial technology for plastic surfaces is presented. We report the
synthesis and scale-up of triangular silver nano-plates (TSNPs) and their integration into polycaprolactone
(PCL) and polylactic ...
Bioactive composites fabricated by freezing-thawing method for bone regeneration applications.
(Wiley, 2016-04)
Hydrogels are widely used for controlled delivery of therapeutic agents. However, hydrogels lack bioactivity to encourage bone formation and mechanical integrity. Moreover, chemically crosslinked hydrogels exhibit cytotoxic ...
Enhanced antimicrobial activity of biocompatible bacterial cellulose films via dual synergistic action of curcumin and triangular silver nanoplates
(2022-10-13)
Curcumin and triangular silver nanoplates (TSNP)-incorporated bacterial cellulose (BC)
films present an ideal antimicrobial material for biomedical applications as they afford a complete set
of requirements, including a ...
Synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles for the preparation of Chitosan pellets and their application in industrial wastewater disinfection
(MDPI, 2023-01-02)
The use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) has become popular in several applications due to
their bactericidal properties. In this sense, it is ideal that the AgNPs are incorporated into a matrix
in order to minimize their ...
Chitosan/hydroxyapatite scaffolds with P28 as a promising osteoinductive scaffold for bone healing applications
(MDPI, 2023-01-31)
Despite bone’s inherent ability to heal, large bone defects remain a major clinical concern.
This study proposes an off-the-shelf treatment combining chitosan/hydroxyapatite (CS/HAp) scaf folds, covalently linked with ...
Liquid-based 4D printing of shape memory nanocomposites: a review
(MDPI, 2023-01-31)
Significant advances have been made in recent years in the materials development of liquidbased
4D printing. Nevertheless, employing additive materials such as nanoparticles for enhancing
printability and shape memory ...
