    • Development of biphasic drug delivery PVA/propolis electrospun nanofibres 

      Chee, Bor Shin; Sampio, Viviane Seba; Nugent, Michael (Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
      The integration of nanotechnology into biomedical applications is called “nanomedicine”. Nanomedicine has the ability to change properties of materials at the molecular and atomic level [1]. Numerous methods have been ...
    • Development of electrospun PVA nanofibers via freeze-thawing method 

      Chee, Bor Shin; Wu, Husheng; Zhu, Wenquan; Masood, Unsa; Sampaio, Viviane Seba; Pereira, Bruno Leandro; Nugent, Michael J.D. (Athlone Institute of Technology, 2019)
      The polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels are proven to have the benefits of improving water retention ability, cell attachment and controlled drug release in medical device materials for pharmaceutical applications. Due to ...
    • Electrospun hydrogels composites for bone tissue engineering. 

      Chee, Bor Shin; de Lima, Gabriel Goetten; Devine, Declan; Nugent, Michael J. D. (Woodhead Publishing, 2019)
      Electrospinning is one of the foremost nanotechnology applications to fabricate bone tissue engineering scaffolds with sizes in the nanometer range. It is regarded as a versatile, inexpensive, and relatively simple methodology ...
    • Electrospun natural polysaccharide for biomedical applications. 

      Chee, Bor Shin; Nugent, Michael (Elsevier, 2019-07-27)
      Electrospinning is a simple and versatile technique in nanotechnology for fabricating nanofibers scaffolds for tissue regenerations, drug delivery systems, wound healing, and cancer therapy. This chapter provides a synopsis ...
    • The influence of mechanical stretching and freeze-thaw processing on the properties of polyvinyl alcohol hydrogels for drug delivery applications 

      Chee, Bor Shin; De Lima, Gabriel G.; Devine, Declan M.; Nugent, Michael J.D. (Athlone Institute of Technology, 2018-04-24)
      The study describes the development of physically cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels using uniaxial orientation via freeze-thawing (F/T). Although cryogels have shown significant improvements in long-term ...
    • Titanium-niobium alloys covered by electrospinning technique to applications in bone implants 

      Pereira, Bruno Leandro; Chee, Bor Shin; Nugent, Michael J.D.; cao, Zhi (Athlone Institute of Technology, 2019)
      Recently, to avoid toxic metals in the human environment, there are many efforts to produce alloys containing titanium Ti and niobium Nb. Nb is a powerful stabilizer of beta-titanium phase[1]. Depending on the composition ...
