Development of high strength nanocomposite for biodegradable stents
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2018-04-24)
The use of biodegradable polymer materials are considered to be good alternatives in urology (Donohue et. al. 2018), cardiovascular (Brie et. al. 2016) and tracheal airway stenosis which provide support before it is absorbed ...
3D printed end of arm tooling (EOAT) of a robotic arm
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2018-04-24)
This research furthers the practice of designing and manufacturing an EOAT for low weight applications by utilising additive manufacturing (“3D Printing”) techniques to decrease energy consumption via tool weight savings ...
The influence of mechanical stretching and freeze-thaw processing on the properties of polyvinyl alcohol hydrogels for drug delivery applications
(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 ...
Structure response for cellulose-based hydrogels via characterization techniques.
(Springer, 2019)
Hydrogels are three-dimensional crosslinked polymeric networks capable of imbibing substantial amounts of water or biological fluids and are widely used in biomedical applications, especially in pharmaceutical industry as ...
Enhancing the bioavailability of hydrophobic drugs using hot melt extrusion
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2018-04-24)
Many existing drugs (as well as new revelations) in the pharmaceutical industry bear a distinct disadvantage in the sense that they are not water soluble, displaying low bioavailability values and consequently a reduced ...
Electrospinning of hydrogels for biomedical applications
(Springer Nature, 2018)
The field of biomedical applications for hydrogels requires the development of nanostructures with specific controlled diameter and mechanical properties. Nanofibers are ideally candidates for these advanced requirements, ...
Development of electrospun PVA nanofibers via freeze-thawing method
(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 ...
Orthopaedic 3D printing in orthopaedic medicine.
(Springer, 2019-09-17)
Orthopaedic surgeries are commonly extremely challenging, and innovations are required to overcome a series of recognised difficulties and improve patient outcomes. Complications, in particular, the high occurrence of ...
Degradable polymer nanocomposites for fused filament fabrication applications
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2018-04-24)
The use of plastics in everyday life has increased dramatically during the course of the 20th and 21st century which is primarily due to the characteristics plastics offer in the development of new products to meet the ...
Electrospun natural polysaccharide for biomedical applications.
(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 ...
