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 ...
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 ...
The evaluation of the potential ecotoxicity of pyroligenous acid obtained from fast pyrolsis.
(Elsevier, 2019-09-30)
Pyroligneous acid (PA) is a by-product of bio-oil, which is obtained by pyrolysis of the wood. This product has been tested for use in several areas, such as agriculture, as a promising green herbicide; however, there are ...
The effect of cooling on the degree of crystallinity, solid-state properties, and dissolution rate of multi-component hot-melt extruded solid dispersions.
(MDPI, 2020-03-01)
The effect of cooling on the degree of crystallinity, solid-state and dissolution properties
of multi-component hot-melt extruded solid dispersions [SD] is of great interest for the successful
formulation of amorphous ...
Prediction of yerba mate caffeine content using near infrared spectroscopy.
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-06-10)
There is a commercial and beneficial interest of producing yerba mate leaves into different grades of caffeine. This work uses a handheld and bench near infrared spectroscopy to compare and predict, using partial least ...
Additive manufacturing of PLA/HNT nanocomposites for biomedical applications
(Elsevier, 2019)
Additive manufacturing has been of great interest of research in various applications due to their ease in processability, cost effectiveness and adaptability. In this study Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) was used as the base ...
Matrix and reservoir-type multipurpose vaginal rings for controlled release of dapivirine and levonorgestrel
(Elsevier, 2016-09-10)
A matrix-type silicone elastomer vaginal ring providing 28-day continuous release of dapivirine (DPV) a lead candidate human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) microbicide compound has recently demonstrated moderate ...
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 ...
Characterisation and in vivo evaluation of Araucaria angustifolia pinhão seed coat nanosuspension as a functional food source
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-10-08)
Araucaria angustifolia seeds are culturally important from South America; however, the
seed coat is generally discarded and have yet to find a beneficial commercial impact. We
propose a new formulation to the usage of ...
The relationship between pedestrian loading and dynamic response of an FRP composite footbridge.
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
Pedestrian loading on flexible structures such as footbridges, grandstands and lightweight floors is an area, which is receiving significant attention from the research community of late. One of the key parameters in ...
