Journal ArticleDOI
Forming of polymer nanofibers by a pressurised gyration process.
TL;DR: A new route consisting of simultaneous centrifugal spinning and solution blowing to form polymer nanofibers is reported, which offers mass production capabilities compared with other established polymer nan ofiber generation methods such as electrospinning, centrifugal spins, and blowing.
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
A comparison of methods to assess the antimicrobial activity of nanoparticle combinations on bacterial cells.
Claire Bankier,Yuen-Ki Cheong,Suntharavathanan Mahalingam,Mohan Edirisinghe,Guogang Ren,Elaine Cloutman-Green,Elaine Cloutman-Green,Lena Ciric +7 more
TL;DR: Flow cytometry was determined to be the best method to measure antimicrobial activity of the novel NPCs due to high-throughput, rapid and quantifiable results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation of protein and protein-gold nanoparticle stabilized microbubbles by pressurized gyration.
Suntharavathanan Mahalingam,Bahijja Tolulope Raimi-Abraham,Duncan Q.M. Craig,Mohan Edirisinghe +3 more
TL;DR: A one-pot single-step novel process has been developed to form microbubbles up to 250 μm in diameter using a pressurized rotating device, and a modified Rayleigh-Plesset equation has been derived to explain the bubble-forming mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solubility–spinnability map and model for the preparation of fibres of polyethylene (terephthalate) using gyration and pressure
Suntharavathanan Mahalingam,Bahijja Tolulope Raimi-Abraham,Duncan Q.M. Craig,Mohan Edirisinghe +3 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated 23 different solvents and solvent systems spread on a wide area of a Teas graph and able to dissolve the functional polymer polyethylene (terephthalate) (PET) and spin products by the application of pressurised gyration.
