A means of accurate control of the curvature radius of molds that are used in nanostructure replication techniques is presented. The local non-uniform growth of SiO2 at regions with high curvature is used to fabricate molds with a curvature radius ranging ...
This thesis is focused on the properties of microcellular aluminium, produced by replication processing, at the micro, meso and macrostructural level. The replication process is based on the infiltration of a porous sodium chloride (NaCl) perform with molt ...
This thesis explores the processing and properties of microcellular aluminium-based materials produced by replication. It includes the development of a pressure infiltration process for net-shape component production, structural characterization of the foa ...
A consumer market for diffractive optical elements in glass can only be created if high efficient elements are available at affordable prices. In diffractive optics the efficiency and optical properties increases with the number of levels used, but in the ...
Glassy carbon is used nowadays for a variety of applications because of its mechanical strength, thermal stability and non-sticking adhesion properties. This makes it also a suitable candidate as mold material for precision compression molding of low and h ...
This work addresses the behaviour of replicated microcellular pure aluminium under multiaxial stress states and in the presence of stress and strain localization sites. Processing of the foam was conducted in-house, using the replication process. The main ...
The flow and failure behaviour of replicated pure aluminium foams in the presence of holes and notches is explored, varying the pore size and the notch depth or hole radius. Flat dog-bone tensile specimens containing a cylindrical hole, and cylindrical V-n ...
