Composite cryogels for dual drug delivery and enhanced mechanical properties.
(Wiley, 2018-04)
In this study, we present a simple and effective process that integrates hydrogels with drugs + ceramics via physical crosslinks resulting in improved mechanical properties. These cryogels have the potential for controlled ...
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 ...
Alfa fiber/polypropylene composites: Influence of fiber extraction method and chemical treatments.
(Wiley, 2019-01)
Alfa fiber/polypropylene composites were manufactured using twin-screw extrusion. Fibers were extracted following alkaline and steam explosion methods. Three chemical treatments were also applied to alkaline extracted ...
Photopolymerization for filling porous ceramic matrix: improvement of mechanical properties and drug delivering behaviour.
(Wiley, 2019-04)
This work presents the photopolymerisation of composite scaffolds where a prefabricated ceramic scaffold was impregnated with poly(ethylene) glycol dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) macromonomer solution. The PEGDMA solution penetrates ...
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 ...
Halloysite nanotube reinforced polylactic acid composite.
(Wiley, 2017-10)
Polylactic acid (PLA) has long history in medical applications, and reinforced PLA has the potential to be used in the medical applications that require high mechanical strength such as coronary stents and bone fixation ...
