TS No. 42: Determination of Formaldehyde Emission for Bio-Composite Products

Concern about the possible health effects of formaldehyde emitted from wood based panel products manufactured with urea-formaldehyde (UF) and melamine-formaldehyde (MF) binding resins has led to the development and increasing use of low emission products. The potential formaldehyde emission by wood-based panels is determined by a standard test ISO WD 12460 – TC 89/WG 5 […]

TT No. 378: A Transdermal Tocotrienol Breast Cream

Our research shows that high levels of tocotrienols in the breast were associated with lower incidence of breast cancer. Oral administration of tocotrienols however ends up with poor uptake into the blood. We have therefore developed an alternative method of delivering tocotrienols to the breast via transdermal application. Main Research: Dr. Kalanithi Nesaretnam
