3D printed end of arm tooling (EOAT) for robotic automation.
(MDPI, 2018-09)
This research furthers the practice of designing and manufacturing End of Arm Tooling
(EOAT) by utilizing a low cost additive manufacturing Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) technique
to enable tool weight saving and ...
Review of multifarious applications of Poly (lactic acid)
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
Poly (lactic acid) is considered to be a promising alternative to petroleum-based polymers due to its renewability, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and good mechanical properties. Because of the high cost, the applications ...
Micro-injection moulding of poly(vinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate) binary and ternary amorphous solid dispersions.
(MDPI, 2019-05)
Micro-injection moulding (µIM) was used for the production of enteric tablets of plasticised
and unplasticised solid dispersions of poly(vinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate) (PVPVA), and the effect
of the mechanical and thermal ...
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, ...
Faster release of lumen-loaded drugs than matrix-loaded equivalent in polylactic acid/halloysite nanotubes.
(MDPI, 2019-06-15)
Nanocomposite-based drug delivery systems with intrinsic controlled release properties are of great interest in biomedical applications. We report a novel polylactic acid (PLA)/halloysite nanotube (HNT) nanocomposite-based ...
Surface modified halloysite nanotubes reinforced polylactic acid for use in biodegradable coronary stents.
(Wiley, 2019-08)
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was reinforced halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) in this study. To improve dispersion and interfacial adhesion of HNTs within the PLA matrix, HNTs were surface modified with 3‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane ...
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 ...
Thermal, mechanical, dieletric and morphological study of dieletric filler based thermoplastic nano-composites for smart applications.
(Sage, 2019-02-01)
Dielectric nanocomposite elastomers based on poly(styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene) (SEBS) and SEBS-grafted-maleic anhydride (SEBS-g-MA) with barium titanate (BT) suitable for electroactive applications were successfully ...
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 ...
Development of novel monolithic matrices for drug delivery using conventional and non-conventional polymer processing technologies.
(2007)
The aim of this study was to produce a range of polymer based monolithic matrices
for controlled oral drug delivery using conventional polymer processing equipment. Poly
(ethylene oxide) (PEO) was chosen as the primary ...
