Fabrication, in vitro degradation and the release behaviours of poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) nanospheres containing ascorbic acid
(Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 2007)
Ascorbic acid (vitamin Q is essential for preserving optimal health and is used by the body for many purposes. The problem is that ascorbic acid easily decomposes into biologically inactive compounds making its use very ...
Controllable synthesis of horseradish peroxidase loaded poly(D,L-lactide) nanospheres
(American Scientific Publishers, 2009)
In this work, horseradish peroxidase (HRP), a model protein, was encapsulated by the precipitation method with additional step of homogenization, using polymer poly(D,L-lactide) (PDLLA). The purpose of this study was to ...
Poly(lactide-co-glycolide)-based micro and nanoparticles for the controlled drug delivery of vitamins
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2009)
Controlled drug delivery systems and polymeric carriers have undergone significant development in recent years. Polymers like polylactides (PLA), polyglycolides (PGA), poly(lactide-co-glycolides) (PLGA), are approved by ...
Far infrared spectroscopy of Pb0.85Sn0.15Te alloy doped with Ni
(Carl Hanser Verlag, 2008)
Far infrared reflectivity spectra of single crystal Pb0.85Sn0.15Te doped with Ni were measured in the temperature range between 10 K and 300 K. Analysis of the experimental spectra was made using a fitting procedure based ...
Morphology investigation of mechanically activated ZnO-SnO2 system
(Elsevier, 2008)
Powder mixtures of zinc oxide and tin oxide in the molar ratio, ZnO:SnO2 = 2:1, were mechanically activated in a planetary ball mill in the time intervals of 0-160 min. The adsorption-desorption isotherms, specific surface ...
Crystal structure of hydroxyapatite nanorods synthesized by sonochemical homogeneous precipitation
(Crystal Growth and Design, 2008)
Using a homogeneous precipitation method in an ultrasound field, we synthesized nanosized, platelike hydroxyapatite (HAp). The internal structure of these platelike formations consists of specifically oriented and laterally ...
Predictive modeling of the mechanical properties of particulate hydroxyapatite reinforced polymer composites
(Wiley, 2002)
The influence of particle geometry and volume fraction on the mechanical properties of a hydroxyapatite (HAp) particulate reinforced polymer (poly-L-lactide and collagen) matrix composite was investigated through finite-element ...
Hydroxyapatite/poly-L-lactide (Collagen) biocomposite with poly-L-lactide of different molecular weights
(Weinheim : Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2000)
In this communication we describe the preparation of HAp/PLLA biocomposites by hot pressing of HAp powder with PLLA of different molecular weights, with and without the addition of collagen. We made PLLA of low molecular ...
Biodegradable composites based on nanocrystalline calcium phosphate and bioresorbable polymers
(Taylor & Francis, 2008)
Nanocrystalline calcium phosphates (NC CP) are suitable for the synthesis of CP/bioresorbable polymer composite biomaterials for the application in bone engineering. There are different forms of NC CP/ bioresorbable polymers ...
Mechanochemical synthesis of nanocrystalline titanium monoxide
(Elsevier, 2008)
Nanocrystalline cubic titanium monoxide, TiOx (0.92 < x < 1.19), with mean crystallite size of ≈ 6 nm, was synthesized by mechanochemical treatment of Ti and TiO2 (rutile) powder mixtures with molar ratios of 1:1, ...
