Effect of micro‐sized marble dust on mechanical and thermo‐mechanical properties of needle‐punched nonwoven jute fiber reinforced polymer composites (2021)

AbstractThis work explores effectiveness of marble dust as a filler in needle‐punch nonwoven jute fiber reinforced polymer composites, prepared through vacuum‐assisted resin transfer molding process. Four different particulate filled composites are fabricated by varying the filler percentage from 0 to 24 wt% at an interval of 8 wt% marble dust under the controlled environment. The mechanical characterizations such as flexural strength, interlaminar shear strength, compressive strength, and impac

Estimation of ductility of concrete columns under horizontal seismic load (2024)

AbstractThe ductility of concrete columns, which determined the deformability of concrete columns, was an important parameter in evaluating the safety of framework structures under horizontal seismic loads. In this paper, 231‐group test data for evaluating the ductility of concrete columns under seismic loads were collected to establish a reliable database. The effects of investigated parameters including the compressive strength of concrete, the lateral confinement of stirrups, the ratio and yi

Development of Ceramic and Glass Fiber Needle-Punched Nonwoven Fabrics Part I: An Optimization (2022)

Abstract The study on the performance of areal density of web, needle punching density, and needle depth of penetration, particularly, the combination of glass and ceramic fiber nonwoven fabrics over the mechanical, thermal, and filtration properties were studied with the Box-Behnken experimental design. For the requirement of filtration behavior, three sets of samples with varying glass fiber areal densities of 250, 300, and 350g/m2 were taken and added with ceramic fibers to ach

Textile Materials Modified with Stimuli-Responsive Drug Carrier for Skin Topical and Transdermal Delivery (2021)

Textile materials, as a suitable matrix for different active substances facilitating their gradual release, can have an important role in skin topical or transdermal therapy. Characterized by compositional and structural variety, those materials readily meet the requirements for applications in specific therapies. Aromatherapy, antimicrobial substances and painkillers, hormone therapy, psoriasis treatment, atopic dermatitis, melanoma, etc., are some of the areas where textiles can be used as car

Overview of Hydrogels and the Use of Hyaluronic Acid-Based Hydrogels in Pharmaceutical Transdermal Delivery Systems and Topical Cosmetic Skin Applications (2025)

Hydrogels have gained significant attention as effective vehicles for transdermal applications offering significant advantages in pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications. Their unique polymeric network structure enables efficient encapsulation and controlled release of active ingredients, making them ideal for therapeutic drug delivery systems (TDDs) and topical skincare formulations. In pharmaceutical approaches, hydrogels facilitate the transdermal transport of therapeutic agents into systemi

Optimizing In Vitro Skin Permeation Studies to Obtain Meaningful Data in Topical and Transdermal Drug Delivery (2025)

Abstract Drug delivery through the skin provides several advantages over other administration routes, including the avoidance of first-pass metabolism and gastrointestinal side effects, prolonged drug release, and significant improvement in patient compliance. It is imperative to study the in vitro behavior of drugs and formulations before proceeding to in vivo evaluations. As the ethical guidelines for scientific research evolve, there is an increasing emphasis on adopting alternative

Skin Structure, Physiology, and Pathology in Topical and Transdermal Drug Delivery (2024)

Several industries are increasingly focused on enhancing the delivery of active ingredients through the skin to optimize therapeutic outcomes. By facilitating the penetration of active ingredients through the skin barrier, these enhancers can significantly improve the efficacy of various formulations, ranging from skincare products to therapeutic agents targeting systemic circulation. As the understanding of skin physiology and the mechanisms of drug absorption deepen, these industries are adopt

Effect of LF-microwave hybrid plasma treatment on radish seed germination and sprout growth (2023)

Abstract The atmospheric pressure non-thermal plasma generated by low-frequency (LF)-microwave hybrid discharge has been employed to investigate the effects of plasma treatment on the germination and growth of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) sprout seeds. The plasma generated with admixture discharge gas of Ar-O2 was adopted for the irradiation of seeds. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analyses were performed to elucidate the physical
