Design & Fabrication of Bio-responsive Drug Carriers Based on Protamine & Chondroitin Sulphate Biopolymers
(2017-10-26)
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 ...
Therapeutic Applications of Biodegradable Chitosan Based Polyelectrolyte Nanocapsules
(2018-01-18)
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 ...
Nanoscale surface engineering of metallic biomaterials for enhancement of mechanical and biological responses
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 ...
Cerium Oxide-based Degradable Polymer Nanocomposites for Bone Tissue Engineering
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 ...
Silk-based Biomaterials for Wound Care and Tissue Regeneration
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, ...
Potential Applications of Snail Mucus in Cartilage Repair and Fabrication of Porous 3D Scaffolds
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 ...
