Characterisation of bone regeneration in 3D printed ductile PCL/PEG/hydroxyapatite scaffolds with high ceramic microparticle concentrations (2021)
Journal Article

3D printed bioactive glass or bioceramic particle reinforced composite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering currently suffer from low particle concentration (100% breaking strain) by adding poly(ethylene glycol) which is biocompatible and FDA approv...

Preparation and characterization of composites using blends of divinylbenzene-based hyperbranched and linear functionalized polymers (2021)
Journal Article

In this study, hyperbranched polymers were explored as matrix modifiers to create E-glass fiber (GF) reinforced polymer composites with enhanced mechanical properties. Hyperbranched polymers have lower viscosities than their linear equivalents, poten...

Water resistant fibre/matrix interface in a degradable composite: Synergistic effects of heat treatment and polydopamine coating (2021)
Journal Article

Retaining a robust fibre-matrix interface in an aqueous environment has been an enduring challenge for fibre-reinforced biocomposites. This study addresses the issue by applying a polydopamine coating as a coupling agent to annealed and non-annealed...
