Micro-porous Paclitaxel-Loaded PLGA Foams -- a New Implant Material for Controlled Release of Chemotherapeutic Agents
Lee, Lai Yeng; Wang, Chi Hwa; Smith, Kenneth A. (2007-01)Supercritical gas foaming using CO₂ was used to fabricate blank poly DL lactide-co-glycolide (PLGA) micro-porous foams. Paclitaxel-loaded PLGA foams were also produced for the first time using a modification of the ... -
On the Droplet Formation Process in Electrohydrodynamic Atomization
Lim, Liang Kuang; Xie, Jingwei; Hua, Jinsong; Wang, Chi-Hwa; Smith, Kenneth A. (2007-01)A novel method of using a secondary electrical field source to control both the spray mode and the droplet size in the electrohydrodynamic atomization process is presented. Size of particles fabricated using the ... -
Secondary Flow and Upstream Dynamics in Double Bifurcation Model
Leong, Fong Yew; Smith, Kenneth A.; Wang, Chi-Hwa (2007-01)Flow behavior in bifurcation models is of great importance to health risk assessments and pulmonary drug delivery. This is particularly true of secondary flow behavior in multi-bifurcation models. Previously, both numerical ... -
Three-Dimensional Simulation of Carmustine Delivery to a Patient-Specific Brain Tumor
Arifin, Davis Yohanes; Wang, Chi-Hwa; Smith, Kenneth A. (2007-01)This study presents the recent development of three-dimensional patient-specific simulation of carmustine delivery to brain tumor that highlights several crucial factors affecting the delivery. The simulation utilizes the ...
