Comparison of porcine brain mechanical properties to potential tissue simulant materials in quasi-static and sinusoidal compression
(Elsevier, 2019-07-19)In both finite element and physical surrogate models of head blast injury, accurate material properties of the brain and/or tissue simulants are necessary to ensure biofidelity in predicted response. Thus, there is a need ... -
Dynamic mechanical behaviour of nanoparticle loaded biodegradable PVA films for vaginal drug delivery
(Sage Publishing, 2018-03-01)In this study, we investigated the viscoelastic and mechanical behaviour of polyvinyl alcohol films formulated along with carrageenan, plasticizing agents (polyethylene glycol and glycerol), and when loaded with nanoparticles ...
