Influence of annealing and biaxial expansion on the properties of Poly-l-lactic) medical tubing.
(MDPI, 2019-07-11)
Poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) is one of the most common bioabsorbable materials in the medical
device field. However, its use in load-bearing applications is limited due to its inferior mechanical
properties when compared ...
Degradable nanocomposites for fused filament fabrication applications.
(MDPI, 2018-05-09)
There has been a substantial increase in the use and development of plastics over the
last century. However, due to ever-diminishing petroleum feedstocks and growing concern for the
environment, there has been a rise in ...
Pathogen displacement during intermittent catheter insertion: a novel in vitro urethra model.
(Wiley, 2019-11-29)
Aim: To develop a novel in vitro urethra model and use it to determine if insertion of an intermittent urinary catheter (IC) displaces pathogenic bacteria from the urethral meatus along the urethra. Methods: Displacement ...
Optimizing the hardness of SLA printed objects by using the neural netwok and genetic algorithm
(Elsevier, 2019-06)
In the developing field of manufacturing, 3D printing is rapidly increasing the horizon of what is possible. However, the possibility of implementing new 3D methods of production has brought new challenges for industries, ...
The development of a melt-extruded shellac carrier for the targeted delivery of probiotics to the colon.
(MDPI, 2017-12)
Hot melt extrusion (HME) is considered an efficient technique in developing solid molecular
dispersions, and has been demonstrated to provide sustained, modified and targeted drug delivery
resulting in improved ...
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 ...
Processing stability and the significance of variation in extrusion speeds and temperture on SSB® 55 Pharma Grade Shellac for Oral Drug Delivery
(MDPI, 2017-09-06)
The melt-extrusion process is utilized in the pharmaceutical arena for the manufacturing of a variety of dosage forms and formulations, including solid dispersions. This technology is considered an efficient and continuous ...
Material considerations for fused-filament fabrication of solid dosage forms.
(MDPI, 2018-04-02)
Material choice is a fundamental consideration when it comes to designing a solid dosage form. The matrix material will ultimately determine the rate of drug release since the physical properties (solubility, viscosity, ...
An investigation of the inter-molecular interaction, solid-state properties and dissolution properties of mixed Copovidone hot-melt extruded solid dispersions.
(Elsevier, 2019-10)
Previous research has focused on spray dried quaternary mixtures which due to the addition of a surfactant 26 affected the physical stability and amorphous stability of selected model drugs. Very little research has 27 ...
Synthesis and in vivo evaluation of a scaffold containing wollastonite/β‐TCP for bone repair in a rabbit tibial defect model.
(Wiley Online Library, 2019-08-08)
Scaffolds are models designed to aid the interaction between cells and extracellular bone matrix, providing structural support for newly formed bone tissue. In this work, wollastonite with β‐TCP porous ceramic scaffolds ...
