Characterization of Soft Tooling Photopolymers and Processes for Micromixing Devices with Variable Cross-Section

Description: Article characterizing an assortment of photopolymers and stereolithography processes to produce 3D-printed molds and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) castings of micromixing devices. The study shows that 3D-printed soft tooling can provide other benefits such as multiple cross-sections and other potential layouts on a single mold.

Multimodal and multiscale strengthening mechanisms in Al-Ni-Zr-Ti-Mn alloy processed by laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing

Description: Article describes how the unique thermokinetics of laser-powder bed fusion additive manufacturing has been exploited for development of a novel high strength Al-Ni-Ti-Zr-Mn alloy. The authors say that the addition of 0.5 wt% Mn leads to extraordinary improvement in ultimate tensile strength (502 MPa) and work hardening due to the activation of two Mn-induced strengthening mechanisms

A Performance Conserving Approach for Reducing Memory Power Consumption in Multi-Core Systems

Description: Article proposes a strategy called Dynamic Bank Partitioning (DBP), which allocates memory banks to different applications based on their memory access characteristic, and also proposes an adaptive method to dynamically select an optimal page policy for each bank according to the characteristics of memory accesses that each bank receives to further reduce power consumption.

Preparation and Characterization of 3D Printed PLA-Based Conductive Composites Using Carbonaceous Fillers by Masterbatch Melting Method

Description: This article highlights a study aimed at improving the conductivity of polylactic acid (PLA)-based composites by incorporating carbonaceous fillers. The composites with the addition of graphene nanoplatelets (rGO) or multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were fabricated by the masterbatch melting method in order to improve the dispersion of the two kinds of nano-fillers. The results showed that, with the addition of 9 wt % rGO, the volume electrical resistivity of the composite reached the min… more
