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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
In vitro fibroblast and pre-osteoblastic cellular responses on laser surface modified Ti-6AI-4V.
(IOP Publishing, 2014-12-29)
The success of any implant, dental or orthopaedic, is driven by the interaction of implant material with the surrounding tissue. In this context, the nature of the implant surface plays a direct role in determining the ...
Impact of torrefaction on properties of Miscanthus x giganteus relevant to gasification.
(Elsevier, 2014-04-01)
Miscanthus × giganteus (M × G) was torrefied to improve its thermal and physical properties prior to thermal conversion. Torrefaction was undertaken at a series of temperatures from 230 to 290 °C for residence times varying ...
Development of disulfiram-loaded vaginal rings for the localised treatment of cervical cancer.
(Elsevier, 2014-11)
Cervical cancer is the third most prevalent cancer in women and disproportionately affects those in low resource settings due to limited programs for screening and prevention. In the developed world treatment for the disease ...
