Hyaluronic Acid Based Therapeutic Bandage Contact Lenses For Corneal Wound Healing

open access: yes, 2021
The cornea is an avascular transparent tissue exposed to the environment and therefore highly susceptible to damage. With an increase in corneal refractive surgeries, corneal transplants, and corneal injuries, understanding and improving corneal healing ...

The Impact of Material Surface Characteristics on the Wetting Properties of Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lenses.

open access: yes, 2010
This PhD project investigated the ramifications of air-cured and nitrogen-cured manufacturing processes during silicone hydrogel contact lens manufacture in terms of lens surface characterisation and clinical performance.

Poly(O‐Propargyl‐N‐Amino Carbamate), a Reactive Polymer to Underpin Biomedical Applications of Poly(acetylene)s

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
We report here a new methodology to prepare functional poly(acetylene)s under aqueous conditions. This methodology is underpinned by poly(O‐propargyl‐N‐amino carbamate) (P1), a reactive poly(acetylene) carrying acyl hydrazines. Thus, P1 reacts with aldehydes to give functional poly(acetylene)s, including cationic, hydrophobic, and sugar‐loaded poly ...

Structural characterization and optimum machining parameters of jute/carbon fibre hybrid reinforced epoxy composite laminates

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
Hybrid jute/carbon epoxy laminates have better mechanical performance and less drilling damage by the use of optimized stacking sequence and machining parameters. Abstract Three composite laminate systems were produced using the standard hand lay‐up method: jute‐fibre‐reinforced polymer (JFRP), carbon‐fibre‐reinforced polymer (CFRP) and a hybrid of the

Adhesion of Transferrin and Albumin to FDA Group II Omafilcon Contact Lenses

open access: yes, 2010
Objective:Tear protein deposits on contact lenses can cause irritation of the conjunctiva and are associated with bacterial infection. The adhesion of transferrin and albumin to Omafilcon contact lenses was investigated.

In vitro and ex vivo wettability of hydrogel contact lenses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The wettability of contact lenses has become an area of intense research, with the belief that the more "hydrophilic" or wettable the lens surface is, the more comfortable the lens may be, as the posterior surface of the eyelid will move more smoothly ...

3D‐Printed Crosslinked Nanocellulose‐MXene Hydrogels and Aerogels with High Strength and Conductivity

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
This study presents a robust strategy for 3D printing conductive, mechanically resilient MXene–CNF composite structures using a single‐step freeze‐induced crosslinking method. The printed architectures remain stable in both wet and dry states, exhibit high electrical conductivity and mechanical strength, and demonstrate practical application in fully ...

Bacterial populations on silicone hydrogel and hydrogel contact lenses after swimming in a chlorinated pool

open access: yes, 2004
Purpose: A number of reports have indicated an association between swimming with contact lenses and subsequent eye infection. This study tests whether a hydrophilic contact lens worn while swimming accumulates bacteria present in the water.

In Vitro Reconstruction of Axonal Heat Sensing with a Photothermal Nerve‐on‐a‐Chip

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
A photothermal nerve‐on‐a‐chip platform is presented that enables precise, localized heating of sensory axons with simultaneous electrical recording. The system reveals millisecond‐scale dynamics of heat‐evoked neural activity and provides a new approach to study how temperature‐dependent ion channel behavior is translated into axonal firing.
