AB  - Basalt as a filler in a polymer-based composite material fulfils the demand of being natural, environment-friendly material for the production of various composite materials. The material could be used as protective layer and the abrasion should be tested in order to evaluate the properties of the material. The cavitation test enables the evaluation of the possible service in conditions that simulate the extensive erosion. The presence of basalt in the matrix improves the resistance to cavitation. The possibility to further improve the material could be obtained using the reinforcement of the matrix itself by incorporation of submicron ceramic particles into the composite. The obtained hybrid composite material with the addition of reinforcement in the matrix further improves the cavitation resistance.

AB  - The authors present the preparation procedure and a computational model of a three-layered fibrous scaffold for prolonged drug release. The scaffold, produced by emulsion/sequential electrospinning, consists of a poly(d,l-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) fiber layer sandwiched between two poly(epsilon -caprolactone) (PCL) layers. Experimental results of drug release rates from the scaffold are compared with the results of the recently introduced computational finite element (FE) models for diffusive drug release from nanofibers to the three-dimensional (3D) surrounding medium. Two different FE models are used: (1) a 3D discretized continuum and fibers represented by a simple radial one-dimensional (1D) finite elements, and (2) a 3D continuum discretized by composite smeared finite elements (CSFEs) containing the fiber smeared and surrounding domains. Both models include the effects of polymer degradation and hydrophobicity (as partitioning) of the drug at the fiber/surrounding interface. The CSFE model includes a volumetric fraction of fibers and diameter distribution, and is additionally enhanced by using correction function to improve the accuracy of the model. The computational results are validated on Rhodamine B (fluorescent drug l) and other hydrophilic drugs. Agreement with experimental results proves that numerical models can serve as efficient tools for drug release to the surrounding porous medium or biological tissue. It is demonstrated that the introduced three-layered scaffold delays the drug release process and can be used for the time-controlled release of drugs in postoperative therapy.

AB  - Due to the relative ease of producing nanofibers with a core-shell structure, emulsion electrospinning has been investigated intensively in making nanofibrous drug delivery systems for controlled and sustained release. Predictions of drug release rates from the poly (D, L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) produced via emulsion electrospinning can be a very difficult task due to the complexity of the system. A computational finite element methodology was used to calculate the diffusion mass transport of Rhodamine B (fluorescent drug model). Degradation effects and hydrophobicity (partitioning phenomenon) at the fiber/surrounding interface were included in the models. The results are validated by experiments where electrospun PLGA nanofiber mats with different contents were used. A new approach to three-dimensional (3D) modeling of nanofibers is presented in this work. The authors have introduced two original models for diffusive drug release from nanofibers to the 3D surrounding medium discretized by continuum 3D finite elements: (1) A model with simple radial one-dimensional (1D) finite elements, and (2) a model consisting of composite smeared finite elements (CSFEs). Numerical solutions, compared to experiments, demonstrate that both computational models provide accurate predictions of the diffusion process and can therefore serve as efficient tools for describing transport inside a polymer fiber network and drug release to the surrounding porous medium.

AB  - The aim of this study was to investigate the release performance of an electrospun composite drug loaded nanofiber mat. Electrospun nanofiber mats are promising as drug carriers which offer site-specific delivery of drugs to a target in the human body and may be used for cancer therapy. The authors have formulated a simple radial 1D finite element, which is used to model diffusion within fibers releasing a drug to the surrounding medium discretized by continuum 3D finite elements. The numerical model includes degradation effects and hydrophobicity at the fibers/surroundings interface. For the purpose of experimental investigation, a poly(D, L-lacticco-glycolic acid) (PLGA) implant has been created at the Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy, University of Belgrade. The radial 1D element provides accurate predictions of the diffusion process and serves as an efficient tool for describing transport inside the polymer fiber and surrounding porous medium; which is illustrated through numerical examples.
