Dermal exposure and surface contamination associated with the use of a cobalt-chrome alloy during additive manufacturing
(North-West University (South-Africa), 2023)Introduction: Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a layered-based technology that is used to manufacture three-dimensional products from computer-aided design. AM offers many advantages over traditional methods of manufacturing ... -
Dissipative particle dynamics investigation of the transport of salicylic acid through a simulated in vitro skin permeation model
(MDPI, 2018)Permeation models are often used to determine diffusion properties of a drug through a membrane as it is released from a delivery system. In order to circumvent problematic in vivo studies, diffusion studies can be ... -
Formulation and topical delivery of niosomes and proniosomes containing carnosine
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)Wiechers (2008:1-18) explains that the efficacy of a biologically active cosmetic product depends on both the intrinsic activity of the active, as well as the delivery of the active. This study aimed to deliver the ... -
Pheroid® technology in the transdermal delivery of selected non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2015)Drug delivery through the skin still remains an area that enjoys active research with much of the research focusing on physical or chemical methods to reversibly alter the skin’s permeability to compounds because of the ... -
