Characterisation of mechanical insertion of commercial microneedles (2020)
Journal Article

The protection provided by the human skin is mostly attributed to the stratum corneum. However, this barrier also limits the range of molecules that can be delivered into and across the skin. One of the methods to overcome this physiological barrier... Read More about Characterisation of mechanical insertion of commercial microneedles.

Experimental analysis of a high temperature water heat pipe for thermal storage applications (2020)
