Product development of an ankle brace using 3D printing by Chew, Zhi Yuan

“…Previous work had been done to investigate the use of patented diamond-like metamaterial to restrict ankle inversion. The previous prototype, made of two different metamaterial designs (Diamond-like metamaterial and Square Grid metamaterial) was able to retain full range of motion in common sporting motions and provided ankle support at critical angles of inversion. …”

Targeted gastrointestinal delivery of nutraceuticals with polysaccharide-based coatings by Sampathkumar, Kaarunya, Loo, Joachim Say Chye

“…Oral delivery is one of the facile methods for the administration of active ingredients (AI) like nutraceuticals and drugs. However, its intrinsic disadvantages include poor absorption and bioavailability, degradation of the AI during transit through the gastro-intestinal tract (GIT), and a lack of action specificity. …”

Construction and utilisation of the adhesion test platform for the development of novel adaptive interfacial adhesives by Tan, Yee Yuan

“…The measured adhesion parameters, σth and Gc, provided guidelines for the design of an SMP adhesive fibril, by finding the range of fibril radii where the adhesion exhibits DMT-like behaviour with strong adhesion in the glassy state and JKR-like behaviour with weak adhesion in the rubbery state. …”

Effect of lognormal particle size distributions on particle spreading in additive manufacturing by Zhao, Ya, Chew, Jia Wei

“…This discrete element method (DEM) study focusses on the impact of particle polydispersity during the particle spreading process on parameters that affect the quality of the final product, like packing and bed surface roughness. The particle systems include four lognormal particle size distribution (PSD) widths, which are benchmarked against the monodisperse system with the same mean particle diameter. …”
