Journal Article
Yoo, J., Clark, E. A., Wallace, M. J., Irvine, D. J., Alexander, M. R., Roberts, C. J., & Wildman, R. D. (2020). Making tablets for delivery of poorly soluble drugs using photoinitiated 3D inkjet printing. International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 578, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpharm.2019.118805

© 2019 In this study, we investigate the viability of three-dimensional (3D) inkjet printing with UV curing to produce solid dosage forms containing a known poorly soluble drug, carvedilol. The formulation consists of 10 wt% carvedilol, Irgacure 2959... Read More about Making tablets for delivery of poorly soluble drugs using photoinitiated 3D inkjet printing.

High-throughput characterization of fluid properties to predict droplet ejection for three-dimensional inkjet printing formulations (2019)
Journal Article
Zhou, Z., Ruiz Cantu, L., Chen, X., Alexander, M. R., Roberts, C. J., Hague, R., …Wildman, R. (2019). High-throughput characterization of fluid properties to predict droplet ejection for three-dimensional inkjet printing formulations. Additive Manufacturing, 29, Article 100792. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.addma.2019.100792

Inkjet printing has been used as an Additive Manufacturing (AM) method to fabricate three-dimensional (3D) structures. However, a lack of materials suitable for inkjet printing poses one of the key challenges that impedes industry from fully adopting...

© 2019 The Royal Society of Chemistry. A novel single-well prototype high throughput microwave reactor geometry has been produced and shown to be capable of synthesizing an array of non-commercially available methacrylate monomers. The reactor, which... Read More about Methodology for the synthesis of methacrylate monomers using designed single mode microwave applicators.

Optimised use of dielectric spectroscopy at microwave frequencies for direct online monitoring of polymerisation reactions (2019)
Journal Article
