Smart thermosensitive poly (N-vinylcaprolactam) based hydrogels for biomedical applications.
(AENSI, 2014-12-31)
Photopolymerisation is an attractive technique used in biomedical applications as it can
provide rapid reaction rates with excellent temporal and spatial control features and
unique tuneable properties. This fabrication ...
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 ...
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 ...
Synthesis of linear aliphatic polycarbonate macroglycols using dimethylcarbonate.
(Wiley, 2009-01-05)
A series of linear aliphatic polycarbonate polyols were synthesized using dimethylcarbonate and a linear alkane diol or specific combinations of linear alkane diols. Polyol synthesis was carried out in a two‐stage process ...
Nanosuspension of pinhão seed coat development for a new high-functional cereal bar.
(Wiley, 2020-03-31)
The seeds from Araucaria angustifolia—commonly named as pinhão—are important culturally, and viable regional food from Brazil. Although now considered an endangered species, methods to increase the awareness of this tree ...
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 ...
Enhancement of mechanical properties and wettability of TiO2NT arrays formed in simulated body fluid‐based electrolyte.
(Wiley, 2019-09-13)
Modified titanium nanotubes (TiO2NTs) coatings are grown in simulated body fluid (SBF) from Ticp and Ti6Al4V. The addition of 1% v/v of SBF to the electrolyte neither modifies film morphology nor the structural oxide ...
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 ...
Effect of unidirectional freezing using a thermal camera on polyvinyl (alchohol) for aligned porous cyrogels.
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2020-03-18)
Unidirectional freeze casting for polymers and ceramics has been performed extensively; however, the mechanisms involved in unidirectional freezing are not thoroughly understood and therefore, in this study, polyvinyl ...
Preparation and characterization of novel poly(vinyl) (alcohol) (PVA) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) hydrogels for sensitive hydrogels.
(Sciforum, 2014-05)
Stimuli Sensitive hydrogels have enormous potential in various applications. Various
environmental variables are found in the body, such as low pH and elevated temperatures. For this
reason, either pH-sensitive and/or ...
