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)
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, ...
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 ...
Comparison of fused-filament fabrication to direct compression and injection molding in the manufacture of oral tablets.
(Elsevier, 2019-03-10)
Oral tablets are a convenient form to deliver active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and have a high level of acceptance from clinicians and patients. There is a wide range of excipients available for the fabrication of ...
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 ...
Post-process considerations for photopolymer 3D-printed injection moulded insert tooling applications
(MDPI, 2024-04-17)
Injection moulding (IM) is a manufacturing technique used to produce intricately detailed
plastic components with various surface finishes, enabling the production of high-tolerance functional
parts at scale. Conversely, ...
