Plastic production and its unplanned management and disposal, has been shown to pollute
terrestrial, aquatic, and atmospheric environments. Petroleum-derived plastics do not …

Current surgical devices are mostly rigid and are made of stiff materials, even though their
predominant use is on soft and wet tissues. With the emergence of compliant mechanisms …

This study investigates the potential of three different thermoplastic materials viz.
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and …

In this experimental work, injection molding of alumina parts was performed with a
developed binder system based on high density polyethylene (HDPE), paraffin wax (PW) …

To date, injection molding has not been a practical manufacturing method for soft robots due
to machine costs, large volumes of liquid silicones required, and the inability to change …

Over the last few decades extensive research gave unambiguous evidence for the
endocrine disrupting nature of bisphenol A (BPA), which has been an indispensable …

Injection molding has been a preferred production process in the fabrication of complex
components. In this technique not only the injection machine and mold play important roles …

Three polymeric materials; polystyrene (amorphous), low-density polyethylene (semi-
crystalline), and poly (methyl methacrylate)(amorphous) were used to explore their behavior …

Thermoplastics are increasingly being used in biomedical, automotive and electronics
industries due to their excellent physical and chemical properties. Due to the localized and …

In this work, we investigate the fiber orientation dependent viscosity of fiber suspensions
using a computational homogenization method. To improve computational prediction …
