The production of solid dosage forms from non-degradable polymers.
(Bentham Science, 2015)
Non-degradable polymers have an important function in medicine. Solid dosage forms for longer term implantation require to be constructed from materials that will not degrade or erode over time and also offer the utmost ...
Extruded monofilament and multifilament thermoplastic stitching yarns.
(MDPI, 2017-12)
Carbon fibre reinforced polymer composites offer significant improvement in overall
material strength to weight, when compared with metals traditionally used in engineering. As a
result, they are replacing metals where ...
Material considerations for fused-filament fabrication of solid dosage forms.
(MDPI, 2018-04)
Material choice is a fundamental consideration when it comes to designing a solid dosage
form. The matrix material will ultimately determine the rate of drug release since the physical
properties (solubility, viscosity, ...
Hybrid manufacturing 3D printing and injection moulding in the pursuit of mass customization
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
Project Overview:
Mass customization is a marketing and manufacturing technique which combines the flexibility and personalization of custom-made products with the low unit costs associated with mass production. The ...
Preparation of biodegradable poltyethylene glycol dimethacrylate hydrogels via thiol-ene chemistry.
(MDPI, 2019-08-13)
Through the control of the molecular weight, water content and monomer concentration, polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) based hydrogels have been adapted for numerous applications, including as structural scaffolds, ...
Effect of stereolithography 3D printing on the properties of PEGDMA hydrogels.
(MDPI, 2020-09-03)
Stereolithography (SLA)-based 3D printing has proven to have several advantages over
traditional fabrication techniques as it allows for the control of hydrogel synthesis at a very high
resolution, making possible the ...
Characteristics of the treated calcium carbonate particles with stearic acid using different treating methods.
(Elsevier, 2016-08)
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is often treated with stearic acid (SA) to decrease its polarity. However, the method of application of the SA treatments has a strong influence on their interface structure and distribution. ...
On the possibility of replacement of calcium carbonate by a high-performance, economically viable filler in polyethylene composites
(Sage, 2021-07-14)
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is frequently added to polyethylene (PE) as a filler to reduce costs. An alternative to CaCO3, calcium fluoride (CaF2) was proposed in this research. PE/CaCO3 and PE/CaF2 composites in a wide ...
Polymer based additive manufacturing historical developments, process types and material considerations.
(Springer Nature, 2019)
3D printing is a manufacturing technique where parts are built in a layer-by-layer fashion. The earliest embodiments were based on generating successive layers of solidified materials at the air liquid interface through ...
A bilayer vaginal tablet for the localized delivery of disulfiram and 5-fluorouracil to the cervix
(MDPI, 2020-12-06)
This study was performed to develop an adjuvant therapy in the form of a self-administered
vaginal tablet regimen for the localized delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs. This therapy will help to
reduce relapse by eradicating ...
