Low Pressure Resin Transfer Molding for Cost Effective Aircraft Quality Structures

Typically aerospace components produced using the Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) process are required by specification to use very high final injection pressure. This is believed to be necessary to produce a laminate that is void free and that produces structural equivalence to historical autoclave moldings. However, a low pressure RTM process has been developed, tested, and validated that produc...

Low cost integration of 3D-electrodes via replica molding

We demonstrate a new replica molding method for integrating 3D-composite electrodes into microfluidic devices made from polydimehtylsiloxane (PDMS) at low cost. Our process does not require work in a cleanroom, expensive materials, or expensive equipment once a micro mold has been fabricated using standard multilayer SU-8 photolithography. Different device geometries have been fabricated to dem...

Acrylic Resin Molding Based Head Fixation Technique in Rodents.

Head fixation is a technique of immobilizing animal's head by attaching a head-post on the skull for rigid clamping. Traditional head fixation requires surgical attachment of metallic frames on the skull. The attached frames are then clamped to a stationary platform resulting in immobilization of the head. However, metallic frames for head fixation have been technically difficult to design and ...
