Micro-stereolithography of polymeric and ceramic microstructures
Ž . Micro-stereolithography mSL is a novel micro-manufacturing process which builds the truly 3D microstructures by solidifying the liquid monomer in a layer by layer fashion. In this work, an advanced mSL apparatus is designed and developed which includes an Ar laser, the beam delivery system, computer-controlled precision x–y–z stages and CAD design tool, and in situ process monitoring system...
متن کاملShape Memory Alloys: Properties and Biomedical Applications
Shape memory alloys provide new insights for the design of biomaterials in bioengineering for the design of artificial organs and advanced surgical instruments, since they have specific characteristics and unusual properties. This article will examine (a) the four properties of shape memory alloys, (b) medical applications with high potential for improving the present and future quality of life...
متن کاملShape Memory Polymer Foams for Biomedical Devices
Developed in last decade, the shape memory polymers (SMP) have been gaining widespread attention for new product innovation. They are lightweight, have a high strain/shape recovery ability, are easy to process, and required properties can be tailored for a variety of applications. Recently a number of medical applications have been considered and investigated for polyurethane-based SMP material...
متن کاملInjectable preformed scaffolds with shape-memory properties.
Injectable biomaterials are increasingly being explored to minimize risks and complications associated with surgical implantation. We describe a strategy for delivery via conventional needle-syringe injection of large preformed macroporous scaffolds with well-defined properties. Injectable 3D scaffolds, in the form of elastic sponge-like matrices, were prepared by environmentally friendly cryot...
متن کاملShape Memory Properties in Cu-Zn-Al Alloy
In this research a Cu-Zn-Al alloy is produced by melting the raw materials in an electric resistance furnace and then pouring it into a steel mould. The optimum way to achieve the final analysis in the hypo-eutectoid range is determined and the influence of the alloying element, Ti on the grain size and the shape memory properties of the samples are investigated. Solution treatment (done at 850...
