The production of solid dosage forms from non-degradable polymers.
(Bentham Science, 2015)
Non-degradable polymers have an important function in medicine. Solid dosage forms for longer term implantation require to be constructed from materials that will not degrade or erode over time and also offer the utmost ...
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 ...
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 ...
β-glucan metabolic and immunomodulatory properties and potential for clinical application
(MDPI, 2020-12-10)
β-glucans are complex polysaccharides that are found in several plants and foods, including mushrooms. β-glucans display an array of potentially therapeutic properties. β-glucans have metabolic and gastro-intestinal effects, ...
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 ...
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, ...
Preparation of biodegradable poltyethylene glycol dimethacrylate hydrogels via thiol-ene chemistry.
(MDPI, 2019-08-13)
Through the control of the molecular weight, water content and monomer concentration, polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) based hydrogels have been adapted for numerous applications, including as structural scaffolds, ...
Effect of stereolithography 3D printing on the properties of PEGDMA hydrogels.
(MDPI, 2020-09-03)
Stereolithography (SLA)-based 3D printing has proven to have several advantages over
traditional fabrication techniques as it allows for the control of hydrogel synthesis at a very high
resolution, making possible the ...
Influence of extrusion screw speed on the properties of halloysite nanotube impregnated polylactic acid nanocomposites
(De Gruyter, 2021)
Poly (lactic acid)/halloysite nanotube (PLA/HNT)
nanocomposites have been studiedextensively over the past
fewyears owing to the interesting properties of the polymer,
PLA, and the nanoclay, HNT, individually and as ...
Development of a multi-layered vaginal tablet containing Dapivirine, Levonorgestrel and Acyclovir for use as a multipurpose prevention technology.
(Elsevier, 2016-07)
Multipurpose prevention technologies (MPTs) are preferably single dosage forms
designed to simultaneously address multiple sexual and reproductive health needs,
such as unintended pregnancy, HIV infection and other ...
