Journal ArticleDOI
Nano-MgO reinforced chitosan nanocomposites for high performance packaging applications with improved mechanical, thermal and barrier properties.
R. T. De Silva,M.M.M.G.P.G. Mantilaka,S.P. Ratnayake,Gehan A. J. Amaratunga,K.M. Nalin de Silva +4 more
TL;DR: Chitosan nanocomposite thin films fabricated by incorporating MgO nanoparticles to significantly improve its physical properties for potential packaging applications displayed remarkable thermal stability, flame retardant properties, UV shielding and moisture barrier properties, which could certainly add value to the packaging material.
Journal ArticleDOI
Facile synthesis of both needle-like and spherical hydroxyapatite nanoparticles: effect of synthetic temperature and calcination on morphology, crystallite size and crystallinity.
W.P.S.L. Wijesinghe,M.M.M.G.P.G. Mantilaka,E.V.A. Premalal,H. M. T. U. Herath,Suntharavathanan Mahalingam,Mohan Edirisinghe,R. P. V. J. Rajapakse,R.M.G. Rajapakse +7 more
TL;DR: The ability to use readily available cheap raw materials, for the synthesis of such well-defined crystallites of hydroxyapatite, is an added advantage of this method, which may be explored further for the scaling up of the procedures to suit to industrial scale synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnesium Oxide Nanoparticles Reinforced Electrospun Alginate-Based Nanofibrous Scaffolds with Improved Physical Properties.
R. T. De Silva,M.M.M.G.P.G. Mantilaka,Kheng Lim Goh,S.P. Ratnayake,Gehan A. J. Amaratunga,K.M. Nalin de Silva +5 more
TL;DR: These novel alginate-based/MgO scaffolds are economical and versatile and may be further optimised for use as extracellular matrix substitutes for repair and regeneration of tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation of bone-implants by coating hydroxyapatite nanoparticles on self-formed titanium dioxide thin-layers on titanium metal surfaces
W.P.S.L. Wijesinghe,M.M.M.G.P.G. Mantilaka,K.G. Chathuranga Senarathna,H. M. T. U. Herath,T. N. Premachandra,Chandana Sampath Kumara Ranasinghe,R. P. V. J. Rajapakse,R.M.G. Rajapakse,Mohan Edirisinghe,Suntharavathanan Mahalingam,I.M.C.C.D. Bandara,Sanjleena Singh +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simple and low-cost technique to prepare biocompatible hydroxyapatite coated titanium metal (TiM) implants through growth of self-formed TiO2 thin-layer (SFTL) on TiM via a heat treatment process is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation of amorphous calcium carbonate nanoparticles from impure dolomitic marble with the aid of poly(acrylic acid) as a stabilizer
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple and economical method to synthesize poly(acrylic acid) stabilized calcined calcium carbonate (ACC) nanoparticles using impure dolomitic marbles in place of natural pure CaCO 3 raw materials is presented.
