Review of multifarious applications of Poly (lactic acid)
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
Poly (lactic acid) is considered to be a promising alternative to petroleum-based polymers due to its renewability, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and good mechanical properties. Because of the high cost, the applications ...
Extraction method plays critical role in antibacterial activity of propolis loaded hydrogels.
(Elsevier, 2016-03)
Extracted propolis has been used for a long time as a remedy. However, if the release rate of propolis is not controlled, the efficacy is reduced. To overcome this issue, extracted propolis was added to a cryogel system. ...
Reinforced polylactic acid for use in high strength biodegradable medical implants.
(2016)
Traditional medical implants, such as orthopedic screws, pins, and
coronary stents, are almost exclusively metallic due to high mechanical
strength requirements. However, issues related to the use of permanent
metallic ...
Mechanical properties of anodic titanium films containing ions of Ca and P submitted to heat and hydrothermal treatment.
(Elsevier, 2016-12)
Anodic oxidation is a technique widely used to improve the bioactivity of Ti surface. In this study, micro-arc oxidation (MAO) was used to obtain an anodic film incorporating Ca and P ions to evaluate the effect of heat ...
Development of a multi-layered vaginal tablet containing Dapivirine, Levonorgestrel and Acyclovir for use as a multipurpose prevention technology.
(Elsevier, 2016-07)
Multipurpose prevention technologies (MPTs) are preferably single dosage forms
designed to simultaneously address multiple sexual and reproductive health needs,
such as unintended pregnancy, HIV infection and other ...
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. ...
Durum wheat seed germination response to hydrogel coatings and moisture under drought stress.
(Science Publications, 2016-11)
Abstract: Technologies that can increase crop production while
maintaining low pollution are essential for sustainable agriculture. This
study compares the germination performance of Durum wheat seeds
(Triticum durum ...
Dielectric polarization enhancement of thermoplastic elastomers for sensing and energy harvesting applications.
(IJMMM, 2016-11)
Nano-structured dielectric thermoplastic elastomers (DTEs) such as poly(styrene-co-ethylene-co-butylene-styrene) [SEBS] and poly(styrene-co-ethylene-co-butylene-styrene) –grafted- maleic anhydride[SEBS-g-MA] triblock ...
Evaluation of the early in vivo response of a functionally graded macroporous scaffold in an osteochondral defect in a rabbit model.
(Springer, 2016-05)
Cartilage tissue engineering is a multifactorial problem requiring a wide range of material property requirements from provision of biological cues to facilitation of mechanical support in load-bearing diarthrodial joints. ...
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 ...
