Processing and characterisation of various polymer blends to develop implant for tissue engineering applications.
Kenny, Elaine; Devine, Declan M.; Higginbotham, Clement L.; Geever, Luke (AESS, 2013)
In the past two decades, the repair and reconstruction of musculoskeletal tissues using biodegradable scaffold materials has emerged as one of the most promising approaches in tissue engineering. The aim of this study ...
Alfa fiber/polypropylene composites: Influence of fiber extraction method and chemical treatments.
Labidi, Khaled; Cao, Zhi; Murphy, Alan; Hamzaoui, Ahmed Hichem; Devine, Declan M. (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 ...
Smart hydrogels: therapeutic advancements in hydrogel technology for smart drug delivery applications.
de Lima, Gabriel Goetten; Kanwar, Diwakar; Macken, Derek; Geever, Luke; Devine, Declan M.; Nugent, Michael J.D. (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. ...
Degradable polymer nanocomposites for fused filament fabrication applications
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 ...
Development of high strength nanocomposite for biodegradable stents
Venkatesh, Chaitra; Chen, Yuanyuan; Cao, Zhi; Brennan, Shane; Major, Ian; Lyons, John G.; Devine, Declan M. (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 ...
