The physicochemical fingerprint of Necator americanus (2017)
Journal Article

Necator americanus, a haematophagous hookworm parasite, infects ~10% of the world’s population and is considered to be a significant public health risk. Its lifecycle has distinct stages, permitting its successful transit from the skin via the lungs... Read More about The physicochemical fingerprint of Necator americanus.

On the suitability of high vacuum electrospray deposition for the fabrication of molecular electronic devices (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 We present a series of three studies investigating the potential application of high vacuum electrospray deposition to construct molecular electronic devices. Through the use of time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry we explore the use...

Rapid nano-gram scale screening method of micro-arrays to evaluate drug-polymer blends using high-throughput printing technology (2017)
Journal Article

A miniaturized, high-throughput assay was optimized to screen polymer-drug solid dispersions using a 2-D Ink-jet printer. By simply printing nanoliter amounts of polymer and drug solutions onto an inert surface, drug:polymer micro-dots of tunable com...

Dendrimer pre-treatment enhances the skin permeation of chlorhexidine digluconate: characterisation by in vitro percutaneous absorption studies and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (2017)
Journal Article

Skin penetration and localisation of chlorhexidine digluconate (CHG) within the skin have been investigated in order to better understand and optimise the delivery using a nano polymeric delivery system of this topically-applied antimicrobial drug. F...

Controlling the release of indomethacin from glass solutions layered with a rate controlling membrane using fluid-bed processing. Part 1: Surface and cross-sectional chemical analysis (2017)
Journal Article

Fluid bed coating has been shown to be a suitable manufacturing technique to formulate poorly soluble drugs in glass solutions. Layering inert carriers with a drug–polymer mixture enables these beads to be immediately filled into capsules, thus avoid...

Part 1: Surface and cross-sectional chemical analysis.

Quantification and qualitative effects of different PEGylations on Poly(butyl cyanoacrylate) nanoparticles (2017)
Journal Article

Protein adsorption on nanoparticles (NPs) used in nanomedicine leads to opsonization and activation of the complement system in blood, which substantially reduces the blood circulation time of NPs. The most commonly used method to avoid protein adsor... Read More about Quantification and qualitative effects of different PEGylations on Poly(butyl cyanoacrylate) nanoparticles.

Surface modification of PdlLGA microspheres with gelatine methacrylate: evaluation of adsorption, entrapment, and oxygen plasma treatment approaches (2017)
Journal Article

Injectable poly (dl-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PdlLGA) microspheres are promising candidates as biodegradable controlled release carriers for drug and cell delivery applications; however, they have limited functional groups on the surface to enable de...
