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 ... -
The development of novel bioresorbable medical devices for treating diseases of the anal canal
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)Anal abscesses and fistulae in ano are the most prominent diseases of the anal canal Abscesses are pockets of pus caused by accumulating bactera whereas fistulae in ano are hollow tunnels that protrude from the wall of ... -
Development of novel polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate (PEGDMA)-based hydrogels for never regeneration
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)Injury to the peripheral nervous system (PNS) affects more than 1,000,000 people worlwide a year. It is estimated that $150 billion is spent on nerve injury repair in the USA alone each year. The current surgical methods ... -
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 ... -
Development of novel PVA-based nanoparticles for delivery system for bone cancer applications
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)Osteosarcoma is one of the most frequent bone cancers with almost 30% of patients developin metastasis [1,2]. Further study is needed to develop new drugs that avoid metastasis. There is experimental evidence that chalcones, ... -
The development of novel smart colour change polymer materials via various melt processing techniques
