Biodegradation and antimicrobial properties of zinc oxide-polymer composite materials for urinary stent applications
(MDPI, 2020-10-20)
Research advancements in the field of urinary stents have mainly been in the selection of materials and coatings to address commonly faced problems of encrustation and bacterial adhesion. In this study, polylactic acid ...
Characterisation and in vivo evaluation of Araucaria angustifolia pinhão seed coat nanosuspension as a functional food source
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-10-08)
Araucaria angustifolia seeds are culturally important from South America; however, the
seed coat is generally discarded and have yet to find a beneficial commercial impact. We
propose a new formulation to the usage of ...
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 ...
The development of smart 4D materials using the smart temperature-sensitive polymer
(TUS Midlands Midwest, 2022)
There is more that can be done with a 3D structure to make them more flexible and
more useful: by utilising structures (Smart Polymers) that can transform in a preprogrammed way in response to a stimulus. Thus, giving ...
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 ...
Preparation of a novel freeze thawed poly (vinly alcohol) composite hydrogel for drug delivery applications
(Elsevier, 2007-09)
Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) is a water-soluble, biocompatible and biodegradable polymer, which has been widely applied in biomedical fields. In this paper, novel physically cross-linked hydrogels composed of PVA and comprising ...
"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 ...
