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 ...
Degradable nanocomposites for fused filament fabrication applications.
(MDPI, 2018-05-09)
There has been a substantial increase in the use and development of plastics over the
last century. However, due to ever-diminishing petroleum feedstocks and growing concern for the
environment, there has been a rise in ...
Material considerations for fused-filament fabrication of solid dosage forms.
(MDPI, 2018-04-02)
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, ...
An investigation of the inter-molecular interaction, solid-state properties and dissolution properties of mixed Copovidone hot-melt extruded solid dispersions.
(Elsevier, 2019-10)
Previous research has focused on spray dried quaternary mixtures which due to the addition of a surfactant 26 affected the physical stability and amorphous stability of selected model drugs. Very little research has 27 ...
Additive manufacturing of personalized pharmaceutical dosage forms via stereolithography.
(MDPI, 2019-12-03)
The introduction of three-dimensional printing (3DP) has created exciting possibilities for
the fabrication of dosage forms, paving the way for personalized medicine. In this study, oral dosage
forms of two drug ...
The effect of cooling on the degree of crystallinity, solid-state properties, and dissolution rate of multi-component hot-melt extruded solid dispersions.
(MDPI, 2020-03-01)
The effect of cooling on the degree of crystallinity, solid-state and dissolution properties
of multi-component hot-melt extruded solid dispersions [SD] is of great interest for the successful
formulation of amorphous ...
Nanofillers can be used to enhance the thermal conductivity of commercially available SLA resins.
(Elsevier, 2019-06)
Stereolithography (SLA) is a form of 3D printing technology used for the production parts and patterns in a layer by layer fashion. Traditionally, 3D printing has been used for the manufacture of prototypes, however it is ...
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 ...
