Physical properties of shellac material used for hot melt extrusion with potential application in the pharmaceutical industry
(MDPI, 2021-10-28)
Hot melt extrusion offers an efficient way of increasing the solubility of a poorly soluble
drug. Shellac has potential as a pharmaceutical matrix polymer that can be used in this extrusion
process, with further advantages ...
Oriented polymeric sheets exhibiting dichroism and articles containing the same.
(2007-12-20)
Provided is an oriented polymeric sheet comprising a photochromic-dichroic material, wherein the sheet exhibits dichroism in an activated state. Also provided is a multilayer composite comprising at least a support layer ...
3D printed end of arm tooling (EOAT) of a robotic arm
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2018-04-24)
This research furthers the practice of designing and manufacturing an EOAT for low weight applications by utilising additive manufacturing (“3D Printing”) techniques to decrease energy consumption via tool weight savings ...
Development of sustainable flexible packaging solutions using novel biodegradable and compostable polymer blends
(BioICEP, 2020-10-19)
Plastic packaging has changed positively the way food products are delivered, reducing
poverty and hunger due to the better protection of the goods, allowing their preservation for
