Ultra-thick micro-optical components using the PRISM photosensitive flexopolymer

Martinus Gijs, Abdeljalil Sayah, Virendra Kumar Parashar, Venkataragavalu Sivagnanam

We present the photosensitive flexopolymer PRISM as a new promising material for the realization of thick optical components. The PRISM flexopolymer can be directly polymerized using conventional UV exposure and is simply developed in a water-based solutio ...

Two-phase modelling of hot tearing in aluminium alloys using a semi-coupled method

Vincent Mathier

Hot tearing is one of the most severe defects observed in castings, e.g. in billets or sheet ingots of aluminum alloys produced by DC casting. It is due to both tensile strains and a lack of interdendritic feeding in the mushy zone. In order to predict thi ...

Comportement structural des bétons de fibres ultra performants en traction dans des éléments composés

John Wuest

Ultra high performance concretes (UHPFRC) are characterized by a dense matrix and a high fibre content. These materials exhibit exceptional mechanical and durability properties making them an ideal material for rehabilitating existing structures. The prima ...

A granular model of solidification as applied to hot tearing

Stéphane Vernède

Hot cracking is a spontaneous failure of an alloy during solidification. It is a severe problem for casting industry as it reduces the productivity of cast houses and limits the range of alloys compositions that can be industrially produced. Hot tears occu ...

Hydration and structure development of ternary binder system as used in self-levelling compounds

Julien Kighelman

Self-levelling flooring compounds (SLC) are applied in thin layers (less than 1cm) to level floors before further finishing cover such as parquet or plastic cover. They are composed of a ternary binder system based on Portland cement (PC), calcium aluminat ...

Application of graphite-based sacrificial layers for fabrication of LTCC (low temperature co-fired ceramic) membranes and micro-channels

Peter Ryser, Thomas Maeder, Hansu Birol

Fabrication of sensors and micro-fluidic structures from low temperature co- fired ceramic (LTCC) sheets is a growing interest in the micro-packaging community. Such devices usually have inner cavities, whose production is quite complicated. The most elega ...

Hyperbranched polymer for micro devices

Yves Leterrier, Lars Schmidt

The invention relates to novel polymer-based microstructures, with outstanding shape accuracy and cost-effective processing. The novel polymers are based on hyperbranched macromolecules and enable remarkable property combination such as reduced shrinkage a ...

Transition of the mushy zone from continuous liquid films to a coherent solid

Michel Rappaz, Stéphane Vernède

While studies of solidification microstructures have focused mainly on the tips of the dendrites, the last stage solidification is equally important from the point of view of defect formation (porosity, hot tearing), mechanical strength build-up and precip ...

Low-Profile mechanisms in a PVAc/polyester blend

Véronique Michaud, Xavier Bulliard

The different steps associated with the curing of a PVAc/polyester blend are identified and correlated to the mechanism of shrinkage control in the presence of a low-profile additive (LPA). Poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) is used as a LPA and is shown to induce ...
