Review of catheter-associated urinary tract infections and in vitro tract models.
(Hindawi, 2018-10)
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are one of the most common nosocomial infections and can lead to numerous medical complications from the mild catheter encrustation and bladder stones to the severe ...
Synthesis and characterization of high density polyethylene / peat ash composites.
(Elsevier, 2016-06)
A new type of polymer composite was synthesized from one industrial waste, peat ash, at varying mixing ratios of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and the resulting products were characterized using different experiments ...
Processing and characterisation of various polymer blends to develop implant for tissue engineering applications.
(AESS, 2013)
In the past two decades, the repair and reconstruction of musculoskeletal tissues using
biodegradable scaffold materials has emerged as one of the most promising approaches in tissue
engineering. The aim of this study ...
Biodegradation and antimicrobial properties of zinc oxide-polymer composite materials for urinary stent applications
(MDPI, 2020-10-20)
Research advancements in the field of urinary stents have mainly been in the selection of materials and coatings to address commonly faced problems of encrustation and bacterial adhesion. In this study, polylactic acid ...
Fused-filament fabrication of PEEK: a review of process-structure-property relationships.
(MDPI, 2020-07-27)
Poly (ether ether ketone) (PEEK) is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic polymer
with potential for use in a variety of metal replacement applications due to its high strength to weight
ratio. This combination ...
Nanofillers can be used to enhance the thermal conductivity of commercially available SLA resins.
(Elsevier, 2019-06)
Stereolithography (SLA) is a form of 3D printing technology used for the production parts and patterns in a layer by layer fashion. Traditionally, 3D printing has been used for the manufacture of prototypes, however it is ...
Comparison of fused-filament fabrication to direct compression and injection molding in the manufacture of oral tablets.
(Elsevier, 2019-03-10)
Oral tablets are a convenient form to deliver active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and have a high level of acceptance from clinicians and patients. There is a wide range of excipients available for the fabrication of ...
The production of a novel poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel cryogenic spheres for immediate release using a droplet system.
(IOP Science, 2019-06-05)
Although freeze-thaw mechanism for producing crosslinked hydrogels is relatively easy and simple, it
lacks sufficient integrity and support leading to modifications on its three-dimensional polymeric
network arrangement ...
Synthesis and in vivo behaviour of PVP/CMC/Agar hydrogel membranes impregnated with silver nanoparticles for wound healing applications.
(ACS, 2018)
The field of wound healing has seen an increase in research activity in wound care and hydrogel-based dressings have been targeted as a solution for these applications. Hydrogels with silver nanoparticles can present many ...
Antimicrobial active bioplastics using triangular silver nano-plate integrated polycaprolactone and polylactic acid films
(MDPI, 2021-02-28)
An innovative antimicrobial technology for plastic surfaces is presented. We report the
synthesis and scale-up of triangular silver nano-plates (TSNPs) and their integration into polycaprolactone
(PCL) and polylactic ...
