    • Antimicrobial PAA/PAH electrospun fiber containing green synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles for wound healing 

      Bandeira, Marina; Chee, Bor Shin; Frassini, Rafaele; Nugent, Michael; Giovanela, Marcelo; Roesch-Ely, Mariana; da Silva Crespo, Janaina; Devine, Declan M. (MDPI, 2021-05-27)
      Wound infections are the main complication when treating skin wounds. This work reports a novel antimicrobial material using green synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) incorporated in polymeric fibers for wound ...

    • Freeze-thaw electrospun PVA-Dacarbazine nanoparticles: preparation, characterization and anticancer evalution. 

      Steffens, Luiza; Chee, Bor Shin; Moura, Dinara Jacqueline; Nugent, Michael (Taylor & Francis Online, 2019-06-13)
      Dacarbazine (DTIC) is an antitumor agent that has limited clinical applications due to its insolubility, instability and toxicity to normal cells. One possibility to achieve controlled release is PVA-based NPs. This work ...

    • Titanium-Niobium (Ti-xNb) alloys with high Nb amounts for applications in biomaterials 

      Pereira, Bruno Leandro; Lepienski, Carlo Maurício; Seba, Viviane; Hobold, Guibert; Soares, Paulo; Chee, Bor Shin; Kuroda, Pedro Akira Bazaglia; Szameitat, Erico Saito; dos Santos, Leonardo Luís; Grandini, Carlos Roberto; Nugent, Michael (Scielo, 2020-11-10)
      The present study produced binary titanium-niobium alloys Ti-xNb with high niobium percentage (x = 50, 80 e 90 wt.%) aiming to apply it as a base material in osseous implant devices. The produced TiNb alloys presented a ...
