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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Stability studies of hot-melt extruded ternary solid dispersions of poorly-water soluble Indomethacin with Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone-co-vinyl acetate) and polyethylene oxide.
(Elsevier, 2019-08)
This investigation aims to evaluate the effect of moisture and temperature on the physical
stability and dissolution behaviour of hot-melt extruded binary and plasticised ternary solid
dispersions. Poorly water-soluble ...
