Polyimide Copolymers and Composites for Improved 3D Printing Accuracy (2022-011)
Poly (amic acid), PAA is often used in producing thermoplastic polyimide films and coatings. However, PAA can only obtain a limited viscosity, and after casting the beads can easily collapse due to the nature of the linear polymer chain. Therefore, current applications using PAA for 3D printing have decreased printing accuracy and limited applications...

A Novel Tool for the Topology Optimization of Trusses (2021-157)
Topology Optimization (TO) is used across various fields to generate lightweight structures. There are limitations to existing methods whereby voxel-based TO results in free-form solids that are difficult to construct from discrete components, while truss-based TO requires large numbers of beams. New algorithms are therefore required that apart from...
