Extruded monofilament and multifilament thermoplastic stitching yarns.
(MDPI, 2017-12)
Carbon fibre reinforced polymer composites offer significant improvement in overall
material strength to weight, when compared with metals traditionally used in engineering. As a
result, they are replacing metals where ...
The development of a melt-extruded shellac carrier for the targeted delivery of probiotics to the colon.
(MDPI, 2017-12)
Hot melt extrusion (HME) is considered an efficient technique in developing solid molecular
dispersions, and has been demonstrated to provide sustained, modified and targeted drug delivery
resulting in improved ...
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 ...
Processing stability and the significance of variation in extrusion speeds and temperture on SSB® 55 Pharma Grade Shellac for Oral Drug Delivery
(MDPI, 2017-09-06)
The melt-extrusion process is utilized in the pharmaceutical arena for the manufacturing of a variety of dosage forms and formulations, including solid dispersions. This technology is considered an efficient and continuous ...
Effect of anodizing time on the mechanical properties of porous titania coatings formed by micro-arc oxidation.
(Elsevier, 2017-01-15)
Porous TiO2 coatings were produced on commercially pure Ti substrates by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) in 1.0 M H2SO4 electrolyte for different anodizing times. Their mechanical properties were assessed by means of instrumented ...
Vaginal drug delivery for the localised treatment of cervical cancer.
(Springer, 2017-06-08)
Cervical cancer is usually treated by surgery, with
the more advanced cancers requiring adjuvant chemotherapy
or radiotherapy. The location of the cervix makes it easily
accessible through the vagina for the localised ...
The relationship between pedestrian loading and dynamic response of an FRP composite footbridge.
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
Pedestrian loading on flexible structures such as footbridges, grandstands and lightweight floors is an area, which is receiving significant attention from the research community of late. One of the key parameters in ...
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 ...
Halloysite nanotube reinforced polylactic acid composite.
(Wiley, 2017-10)
Polylactic acid (PLA) has long history in medical applications, and reinforced PLA has the potential to be used in the medical applications that require high mechanical strength such as coronary stents and bone fixation ...
