Green polymer-inorganic composite materials
Composite materials are widely researched and widely used in applications such as aircraft, automobiles, ships, structural components and even the space industry.There is a need to create new composite materials which are environmentally friendly and do not use fossil fuel based products. Moreover, the properties of the composites need to be improved while at the same time minimising the costs involved.Consequently our research group is working on composite materials which not only include inexpensive inorganic fillers from the mining sector …

Antibiotic-loaded polymer nanoparticulate inhaled formulations against lung infections associated with COPD and CF
Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) are one of the fatal diseases of the lungs that have severe impacts on public health especially the Indigenous people. The currently available antibiotics administered orally for the treatment of LRTIs need high doses with frequent administration and cause dose-related adverse effects.To overcome this problem, we will investigate the development of antibiotic-loaded polymer nanoparticles (NPs) for potential pulmonary delivery from dry powder inhaler (DPI) formulations. This study will address the release profile of the antibiotic …
