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 ...
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 ...
Characteristics of the treated calcium carbonate particles with stearic acid using different treating methods.
(Elsevier, 2016-08)
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is often treated with stearic acid (SA) to decrease its polarity. However, the method of application of the SA treatments has a strong influence on their interface structure and distribution. ...
On the possibility of replacement of calcium carbonate by a high-performance, economically viable filler in polyethylene composites
(Sage, 2021-07-14)
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is frequently added to polyethylene (PE) as a filler to reduce costs. An alternative to CaCO3, calcium fluoride (CaF2) was proposed in this research. PE/CaCO3 and PE/CaF2 composites in a wide ...
A bilayer vaginal tablet for the localized delivery of disulfiram and 5-fluorouracil to the cervix
(MDPI, 2020-12-06)
This study was performed to develop an adjuvant therapy in the form of a self-administered
vaginal tablet regimen for the localized delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs. This therapy will help to
reduce relapse by eradicating ...
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 ...
