Mass-customization of oral tablets via the combination of 3D printing and injection molding.
(Elsevier, 2019-10-05)
The new frontier of medicine is the personalization of treatment to match a patient’s individual needs. Fused-filament fabrication (FFF) offers a platform for the personalization of drug dosage forms, but one of its chief ...
Influence of annealing and biaxial expansion on the properties of Poly-l-lactic) medical tubing.
(MDPI, 2019-07-11)
Poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) is one of the most common bioabsorbable materials in the medical
device field. However, its use in load-bearing applications is limited due to its inferior mechanical
properties when compared ...
An investigation into the effect of hyaluronic acid (HLA) polymer size on neuronal and glial cell viability and attachment
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2019-06)
HLA is a human endogenous biopolysaccharide discovered by Karl Meyer in 1938, in the vitreous
humour of bovine eyes and is a key component of the extracellular matrix (ECM) found in every cell
type in the body. It is ...
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, ...
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 ...
Additive manufacturing of PLA/HNT nanocomposites for biomedical applications
(Elsevier, 2019)
Additive manufacturing has been of great interest of research in various applications due to their ease in processability, cost effectiveness and adaptability. In this study Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) was used as the base ...
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 influence of low shear microbore extrusion on the properties of high molecular weight poly(l-lactic acid) for medical tubing applications.
(MDPI, 2019-04)
Biodegradable polymers play a crucial role in the medical device field, with a broad range
of applications such as suturing, drug delivery, tissue engineering, sca olding, orthopaedics, and
fixation devices. Poly-l-lactic ...
