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 ...
Smart thermosensitive poly (N-vinylcaprolactam) based hydrogels for biomedical applications.
(AENSI, 2014-12-31)
Photopolymerisation is an attractive technique used in biomedical applications as it can
provide rapid reaction rates with excellent temporal and spatial control features and
unique tuneable properties. This fabrication ...
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 ...
Development of a versatile monitoring technique for real-time protein activity tracking within cellular environment and biomimetic tissue engineering scaffold systems
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
Crowded cellular environments with complex and intricate
molecular interactions underpin biological processes. High
biological noise is intrinsic within these biological systems, and this
poses critical challenges to ...
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 ...
Development of high strength nanocomposite for biodegradable stents
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2018-04-24)
The use of biodegradable polymer materials are considered to be good alternatives in urology (Donohue et. al. 2018), cardiovascular (Brie et. al. 2016) and tracheal airway stenosis which provide support before it is absorbed ...
Modification of hyaluronic acid for stereolithography 3D printing of hydrogel nerve conduits
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
The peripheral nervous system transmits signals from the brain to the limbs and organs of the
body. Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) resulting from trauma, illness or cancer affect
approximately 1 million people in Europe ...
Injectable bone substitute based on chitosan with polyethylene glycol polymeric solution and biphasic calcium phosphate microspheres.
(Elsevier, 2020-06-10)
We described a method to produce an injectable bone substitute consisting of a solid and liquid phase, this solid was formed using the coacervation method consisting of a mixture of Hydroxyapatite (HAp) and beta-Tricalcium ...
Composite cryogels for dual drug delivery and enhanced mechanical properties.
(Wiley, 2018-04)
In this study, we present a simple and effective process that integrates hydrogels with drugs + ceramics via physical crosslinks resulting in improved mechanical properties. These cryogels have the potential for controlled ...
