Photopolymer systems, such as those based on acrylate or thiol-ene chemistries, see widespread use due to the utility and convenience in the ability to rapidly cure the resin via light exposure. These materials are used ...

Recent explosive growth in the number of wireless devices and demand for portable information content has led to the need for modern wireless systems with higher bandwidth to support faster data rates. It is necessary to ...

The goal of my thesis is to explore the limitations of three-dimensional printing on elastomeric block copolymers containing poly(3-hexylthiophene) by studying the extrusion of polyisoprene-b-polystyrene-b-poly(3-hexylthiophene). ...

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology uses thermoplastic filament for layer by layer fabrication of objects. To make functional objects with desired properties, composite filaments are required in the FDM. In this ...

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is an advancing technology for fabricating three dimensional objects of simple to complex architectures using computer aided design (CAD) models. Fused Filament Fabrication ...

Additive manufacturing, also widely known as 3D printing, has attracted tremendous attention in almost every industry, from aerospace and defense, to automotive, electronics, dental and medical fields. It holds the promise ...

The progress in microscale additive manufacturing (µ-AM) of metals requires engineering of the microstructure for various functional applications. In situ control over the microstructure during three-dimensional (3D) ...

Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is a process of materials fabrication assisted by computer aided design (CAD) to form three-dimensional objects with complex geometry. Many 3D printing techniques have ...

This thesis concerns the design methodology that replaces metallic springs with plastic ones, which will improve the recycling rate of plastic products. Although metallic compression springs are inexpensive and widely used ...
