Advances in polymers based Multi-Material Additive-Manufacturing Techniques: State-of-art review on properties and applications

Evolution of temperature and residual stress behavior in selective laser melting of 316L stainless steel across a cooling channel

“…Important contributions have been made in recent years to the research of additive manufacturing (AM) technology (Aktürk et al , 2021). Although AM has been known for several decades, current developments in process and computational methods have revolutionized the manufacturing sector like never before, resulting in increased application of AM in almost all sectors (García-Collado et al , 2021; Khan et al , 2021). One of the most promising AM techniques for metals is selective laser melting (SLM), which works with discrete powder particles (Cai et al , 2021; Waqar et al , 2020).…”

Preparation of ethyl cellulose–glycerol tribenzoate microcapsules in CO2/N2‐switchable hydrophilicity solvent and solvent recycling

“…Polymer science has always been an attractive field for researchers, who focus on different types of polymerization [1][2][3][4] and different materials, [5][6][7][8][9] including microcapsules, [10][11][12][13] nanomaterials, 5,14,15 composites, [16][17][18][19][20] thermoplastic materials, [21][22][23] and polymer materials, [24][25][26][27] as well as their respective industrial applications. [28][29][30][31] In the past decades, microcapsule preparation technology has been widely developed and deeply studied, [31][32][33][34] it can be divided into three types, contained chemical method, physicochemical method, and physical method.…”

Hands-free printed door opener to limit the spread of Coronavirus: Design through topology optimization

“…Nowadays the development of additive manufacturing technologies allows engineers to develop new design approaches capable of devising more efficient solutions to existing problems. Almost all the industrial sectors are somehow impacted as new design approaches, new tools for numerical analyses and new testing protocols are emerging to harness the potential of this still evolving technology [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] .…”
