Quasicrystal-Polymer Composites for Additive Manufacturing Technology

Manufacturing of Polymer-matrix Composites

New-emerging approach for fabrication of near net shape aluminum matrix composites/nanocomposites: Ultrasonic additive manufacturing

Recently, high-performance lightweight materials with outstanding mechanical properties have opened up their way to some sophisticated industrial applications. As one of these systems, aluminum matrix composites/nanocomposites (AMCs) offer an outstanding combination of relative density, hardness, wear resistance, and mechanical strength. Until now, several additive manufacturing methods have be...

Additive manufacturing technology: Identifying Value Potential in Additive Manufacturing Stakeholder Groups and Business Networks

The development of additive manufacturing (AM) technology is expected to transform product design and manufacturing. It is predicted that the effects of AM on business will be diverse and extensive. It will be critical for business owners to observe how AM impacts on conventional supply chains and business networks, plus the effects on customers’ value propositions and on value creation. Value ...

One-step volumetric additive manufacturing of complex polymer structures

Two limitations of additive manufacturing methods that arise from layer-based fabrication are slow speed and geometric constraints (which include poor surface quality). Both limitations are overcome in the work reported here, introducing a new volumetric additive fabrication paradigm that produces photopolymer structures with complex nonperiodic three-dimensional geometries on a time scale of s...
