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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles: a review of the synthesis methodology and mechanism of formation.
(Elsevier, 2020-03)
Zinc oxide is of significant importance for many industries due to its versatile properties, which have been enhanced with the production of this material in the nanoscale. Nonetheless, the increase in concerns related to ...
Pathogen displacement during intermittent catheter insertion: a novel in vitro urethra model.
(Wiley, 2019-11-29)
Aim: To develop a novel in vitro urethra model and use it to determine if insertion of an intermittent urinary catheter (IC) displaces pathogenic bacteria from the urethral meatus along the urethra. Methods: Displacement ...
A tough and novel dual-response PAA/P(NiPAAM-co-PEGDMA) IPN hydrogels with ceramics by photopolymerization for consolidation of bone fragments following fracture.
(IOP Science, 2019-07)
In this work, a novel dual-response hydrogel for enhanced bone repair following multiple fractures was investigated. The conventional treatment of multiple bone fracture consists on removing smaller bone fragments from the ...
Antimicrobial PAA/PAH electrospun fiber containing green synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles for wound healing
(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 ...
Extended release of proteins following encapsulation in hydroxyapatite/chitosan composite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications.
(Elsevier, 2018-03)
Highlights:
Biocompatible, mechanically robust scaffold with an appropriate stability for bone healing when used with fixation device.
Proteins can be covalently attached to the scaffold.
Proteins are released for an ...
Analysis of the mechanical properties of solvent cast blends of PLA/PCL.
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014-09)
Polylactic acid (PLA) is the most promising material in the biodegradable category. However, brittleness and poor thermal stability restrict its application. To overcome this limitation, PLA may be blended with other ...
