The development of novel polymeric delivery systems for the controlled release of therapeutic agents to prevent the spread of zoonotic diseases
(2022)
The potential for zoonotic transmission - a disease transmitted from animals to people
- of many disease pathogens is a significant concern worldwide. It is estimated that
60 of human emerging infectious diseases, including ...
Long-term release rate of a nutritional supplement from a biodegradable polymer matrix
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
For the purposes of ruminant nutrition, a 6-month timeframe is
the ideal amount of time for the delivery of trace element and
minerals. As a starting element, copper was chosen as it is the
most commonly observed trace ...
Smart hydrogels: therapeutic advancements in hydrogel technology for smart drug delivery applications.
(Wiley, 2015-12)
Hydrogels are a fusion of solid and liquid phases which closely mimic biological tissue. As such they have enormous potential for drug delivery systems as they are biocompatible and may be tailored to specific applications. ...
The development of novel smart colour change polymer materials via various melt processing techniques
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
Smart polymers or stimuli-responsive polymers undergo large reversible changes, whether physical or chemical, in their properties as a consequence of small environmental variations. They can respond to a single stimulus ...
The development of smart 4D materials using the smart temperature-sensitive polymer
(TUS Midlands Midwest, 2022)
There is more that can be done with a 3D structure to make them more flexible and
more useful: by utilising structures (Smart Polymers) that can transform in a preprogrammed way in response to a stimulus. Thus, giving ...
Development of smart 4-D materials utilising novel self assembly polymers
(2020-06)
4D printing is a technique that uses a 3 D printer to create objects that change their
shape overtime 4 D printing involves the use of smart materials that will transform when
exposed to an external stimuli These can ...
