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 ...
"My heart, your heart"; hot melt enteric targeted therapeutic delivery platform: enhancing drug solubility through advanced polymer extruded drug delivery system
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number 1 cause
of death globally. Fenofibrate has been shown an
excellent treating effect on CVDs. However, Fenofibrate
is a neutral, lipophilic compound that is practically
insoluble ...
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 ...
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 ...
Nano-enhanced food contanct materials and the in vitro toxicity to human intestinal cells of nano-ZnO at low dose.
(IOP Science, 2011)
Nano Zinc Oxide (nZnO) has been shown to display antimicrobial effects which have lead to its application in a number of areas such as antimicrobial surface coatings, anti bacterial wound dressings and more recently in ...
The development of advanced smart polymer formulations for potential biomedical applications.
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-10)
In the past twenty years, a theme in the pharmaceutical industry is to move towards more efficient use of active pharmaceutical ingredients and the need for improved delivery systems. Smart polymers throughout the literature ...
A novel manufacturing technique for the production of tailored solid dosage forms
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020)
The main objective of this study was to evaluate manufacturing processes for the fabrication of tailored solid dosage forms. Two hot-melt extrusion based manufacturing processes were investigated, a 3D printing process ...
A quality of experience evaluation of augmented reality and haptic feedback in a low-cost gait analysis system
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
Gait analysis is a technique that is used to understand movement patterns and, in some cases, to inform the development of rehabilitation protocols. Traditional rehabilitation approaches have relied on expert guided feedback ...
