NETZSCH Nanotechnology Advancements and Applications

Miranda S., Smith R., NETZSCH Premier Technologies, US

Size reduction into the nanometer size range offers many advantages. These include increased surface area, improved reactivity, efficient absorption and higher efficacy of active ingredients. This presentation will discuss methods for Comminution and dispersion of [...]

Advanced large scale colloidal lithography for sub-100 nm direct and indirect nanostructuring: application to silicon and metals

Kadiri H., Faustini M., Turover D., Grosso D., Gokarna A., Lerondel G., Université de Technologie de Troyes, FR

Actually nano-sphere lithography is a great technique to fabricate structures at large scale, therefore using self-assembly as a bottom-up approach nano scale materials. In this study, combining Reactive Ion Etching(RIE) and polystyrene(PS) nano-sphere lithography we [...]

The benefits and challenges of Industry-Start Up-University collaboration for product development

Silveston-Keith R., University Industry Demonstration Partnership, US

There is an emerging trend for corporate R&D groups to engage with startups as corporations need to increase the pace of finding breakthrough technologies and make rapid transfer of science and technology into the marketplace. [...]

High-rate Manufacturing of 3D Products with Nanostructured Surfaces

Barry C., De Jesus Vega M., Mead J., University of Massachusetts-Lowell, US

Injection molding permits manufacturing of complex three-dimensional polymer products with nanostructured surfaces in less than 30 seconds. New work has explored the practical limits of feature size during injection molding. Surfaces with a range of [...]

Active Air Bearing Technology for Compensating Multi-DOF Motion Errors of Ultra-Precision Motion Units

Ro S.-K., Khim G., Park J.K., Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials, KR

In this paper, we introduce rotary and linear motion units with active magnetic preloads and show experimental results for active compensation of motion errors by feedforward method. To compensate motion errors, linear stage and rotary [...]

Design process to minimize roof surface defect using flexural function computed by finite element method

Hwang S.Y., Jeong H.S., kim N.S., Sogang University, KR

Exterior curvature of the vehicle is one of the most important factors to evaluate the quality of the vehicle. During oven process, exterior of the roof is deformed. However this can be only identified under [...]

Rapid Printed Tooling for High-rate Production of Microstructured Surfaces

De Jesus Vega M., Shearer J., Mead J., Barry C., University of Massachusetts-Lowell, US

Method for production of tooling for microstructure surfaces

Synthesis of conductive elastic film and conductive fabric based on crosslinked carboxymethyl starch-AgNPs composite

El-Sheikh M.A., National Research Centre, Egypt, EG

The current work is developing a novel, facile and eco-friendly method for synthesis of highly concentrated silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using AgNO3 as a precursor, the eco-friendly carboxymethyl starch (CMS) polymer as both reducing and stabilizing [...]

Intense Pulsed Light Sintering and Reduction of Facile Copper Hydroxide Synthesis towards Printable Copper Contacts

Druffel T., Dharmadasa R., Draper G., University of Louisville, US

The printed electronics market is a rapidly growing field, with the market set to reach $3.6B by 2018. Conductive inks are used in a vast variety of technologies. Inks are typically composed of metallic particles [...]

A family of MAV drives investigation

Dalewski R.T., Gumowski K., Barczak T., Godek J., Warsaw University of Technology (Politechnika Warszawska), PL

A critical overview of a family of drives designed for MAV purposes was conducted. In the family of drives ducted and non-ducted solutions of two counter-rotating and single propeller systems were tested. Rotor diameter for [...]
