... , was increased, the diameter of low-density polyethylene fibers decreased pronouncedly due to the larger electrostatic force,   f e , which contributed to the stretching of the polymer jet during the landing path. In the near-field case, however, the higher applied voltage will lead to thicker...

...Jian Geng; Md. Taibur Rahman; Rahul Panat; Lei Li In this work, we demonstrate a novel scalable microscale manufacturing technique that uses structural self-assembly to create controlled ring-shaped periodic perturbations in the form of wrinkles on a polymer fiber concentric to the fiber axis...

...Joško Valentinčič; Andrej Glojek; Izidor Sabotin A suitable tooling strategy is identified to enable mass production of a microreactor baseplate via injection moulding. A bottom grooved micromixer design suitable for micromilling of a tool insert is developed. To identify suitable polymer...

... 07 2015 25 02 2016 Micro injection molding Polymers Micro-injection molding is a polymer processing method which is by far the most common method in manufacturing polymer microparts in large quantities. MIM has become more popular due to the growing market for micro...

... of the filling of the parts. Great emphasis was also on the optimization of selected gate designs for both plastic parts. Subsequently, the simulation results were used to answer the question which gate design was the most appropriate with regard to the process window, polymer flow, and part quality...

.... In particular, in semicrystalline materials the mold temperature is an important factor influencing the degree of polymer crystallinity. This crystallinity governs many service results of the material, for example, creep, fatigue, and wear resistance, and also dimensional stability at high temperatures [ 17...

... polymeric nanocarriers possessing Young's modulus of bulk material as low as sub-1 MPa. This method is employed to fabricate sub-50 nm diameter cylinders with >3:1 aspect ratio and other challenging shapes from low elastic modulus polymers such as N -isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) and poly(ethylene glycol...

...% solution had roughly twice as much electrostatic charge per polymer chain compared to the 0.5% solution, and therefore more PAA would have been pushed to the surface of evaporating drops with an initial 0.1% concentration. This would enrich the concentration of PAA in child drops, counteracting...
