Recent Progress of Advanced Optical Manufacturing Technology

Advanced Manufacturing Technology

Within the last decade, the importance of flexibility and efficiency has increased in the manufacturing sector. The rising level of uncertainty in consumer preferences has caused many organizations to aggressively search for cost reductions and other sources of competitive advantage. The small and medium scale industries (SMIs) are the backbone of the industrialization process in developing and...

Achieving Competitive Advantages of Advanced Manufacturing Technology

Recent Advances in Microspheres Manufacturing Technology

Microspheres are characteristically free flowing powders consisting of proteins or synthetic polymers which are biodegradable in nature and ideally having a particle size less than 200 μm. A well designed controlled drug delivery system can overcome some of the problems of conventional therapy and enhance the therapeutic efficacy of a given drug. There are various approaches in delivering a the...

Recent Progress in Allergen Immunotherapy

The efficacy of allergen immunotherapy for the treatment of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis with or without seasonal bronchial asthma and anaphylaxis caused by the sting of the hymenoptera class of insects has been clearly demonstrated in numerous well-designed, placebo-controlled trials. Immunotherapy whether by subcutaneous injection of allergen extract or by oral/sublingual routes modifies peri...

Nanoimprint Technology: Recent Progress and Applications

Nanoimprint Lithography (NIL) has emerged as a promising nanopatterning technology in recent years. NIL uses a hard mold to mechanically deform the polymer resist material to create nanoscale patterns, which completely free itself from the resolution-limiting factors such as light diffraction or beam scattering that are often inherent with other more traditional approaches. Our recent work have...
