An investigation into the effects of pH and material concentrations on the morphology of Chitosan-Alginate microspheres prepared using an Ionic Gelation technique.
(IJASRM, 2017-10)
The aim of this study was to develop microspheres as
a drug delivery system using natural polymeric
materials including Alginate and Chitosan using an
Ionotropic Gelation method of synthesis. In this
study, several ...
Surface modified halloysite nanotubes reinforced polylactic acid for use in biodegradable coronary stents.
(Wiley, 2019-08)
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was reinforced halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) in this study. To improve dispersion and interfacial adhesion of HNTs within the PLA matrix, HNTs were surface modified with 3‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane ...
Alfa fiber/polypropylene composites: Influence of fiber extraction method and chemical treatments.
(Wiley, 2019-01)
Alfa fiber/polypropylene composites were manufactured using twin-screw extrusion. Fibers were extracted following alkaline and steam explosion methods. Three chemical treatments were also applied to alkaline extracted ...
An ensemble machine learning method for microplastics identification with FTIR spectrum
(Elsevier, 2022-06-20)
Microplastics (MPs) (size < 5 mm) marine pollution have been investigated and monitored by many researchers
and found in many coasts around the world. These toxic chemicals make their way into human diet through food ...
3D printed polymers are less stable than injection moulded counterparts when exposed to terminal sterilization processes using novel vaporized hydrogen peroxide and electron beam processes.
(Elsevier, 2019-11-21)
There is an increasing trend for use of 3D printing processes in healthcare due in part to emergence of customised medical devices and associated low manufacturing cost. However, there is a dearth of knowledge on the ...
Development of Amoxicillin loaded microspheres for anti-Helicobacter pylori infection using Ionic Gelation method
(IJASRM, 2017-11)
The aim of this project was to develop microspheres loaded with Amoxicillin for anti-Helicobacter pylori infection. Amoxicillin loaded microspheres were developed using blends of natural polymers such as Alginate and ...
