The past few years have witnessed significant work being directed towards drug delivery systems with layer-by layer (LbL) technique prominently featured as one of the most sought after approach. However, majority of the ...

The present thesis focuses on the fabrication of bio-stimuli responsive micro- and nano-carriers for drug delivery applications. In particular, the objective of this work is to investigate the possibility of using polypeptide ...

In recent years, there has been a notable surge in interest surrounding implantable biomaterials due to their potential applications in treating physical defects and traumas. Hydrogels have garnered growing attention among ...

For most individuals, wound healing is a highly organized, straightforward process. However, there are instances where external intervention becomes necessary to support the body’s innate healing mechanism. In this thesis, ...

Articular cartilage damage is a major challenge in orthopedics. This medical condition is exacerbated by the cartilage's inability to self-repair due to the non-vascularization of the tissue and many other factors. Several ...

The incidences of bone-related disorders is growing steeply worldwide because of acute trauma, diseases related to aging, and obesity. Bone has a natural regenerative capacity to repair and regenerate fractures and small ...

Metallic materials are widely used in load bearing orthopedic applications. The alloys used in the implants are 316L stainless steel (SS), commercially pure Ti (cp-Ti), Ti-6Al-4V and Co-Cr-Mo alloys. The life of implants ...
