In-situ polymerisation of fully bioresorbable polycaprolactone/phosphate glass fibre composites: in vitro degradation and mechanical properties (2015)
Journal Article
Chen, M., Parsons, A. J., Felfel, R. M., Rudd, C. D., Irvine, D. J., & Ahmed, I. (2016). In-situ polymerisation of fully bioresorbable polycaprolactone/phosphate glass fibre composites: in vitro degradation and mechanical properties. Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 59, 78-89. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmbbm.2015.12.019

Fully bioresorbable composites have been investigated in order to replace metal implant plates used for hard tissue repair. Retention of the composite mechanical properties within a physiological environment has been shown to be significantly affecte...

Degradation and Characterization of Resorbable Phosphate-Based Glass Thin-Film Coatings Applied by Radio-Frequency Magnetron Sputtering (2015)
Journal Article
Stuart, B. W., Stuart, B., Gimeno-Fabra, M., Segal, J., Ahmed, I., & Grant, D. M. (2015). Degradation and Characterization of Resorbable Phosphate-Based Glass Thin-Film Coatings Applied by Radio-Frequency Magnetron Sputtering. ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 7(49), 27362-27372. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsami.5b08957

Quinternary phosphate-based glasses of up to 2.67 μm, deposited by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering, were degraded in distilled water and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) to investigate their degradation characteristics. Magnetron- sputtered coati... Read More about Degradation and Characterization of Resorbable Phosphate-Based Glass Thin-Film Coatings Applied by Radio-Frequency Magnetron Sputtering.

Core/clad phosphate glass fibres containing iron and/or titanium (2015)
Journal Article
Ahmed, I., Shahruddin, S., Sharmin, N., Furniss, D., & Rudd, C. D. (2015). Core/clad phosphate glass fibres containing iron and/or titanium. Biomedical Glasses, 1(1), https://doi.org/10.1515/bglass-2015-0004

Phosphate glasses are novel amorphous biomaterials due to their fully resorbable characteristics, with controllable degradation profiles. In this study, phosphate glasses containing titanium and/or iron were identified to exhibit sufficiently matched... Read More about Core/clad phosphate glass fibres containing iron and/or titanium.
