3D printed end of arm tooling (EOAT) of a robotic arm
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2018-04-24)This research furthers the practice of designing and manufacturing an EOAT for low weight applications by utilising additive manufacturing (“3D Printing”) techniques to decrease energy consumption via tool weight savings ... -
Degradable polymer nanocomposites for fused filament fabrication applications
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2018-04-24)The use of plastics in everyday life has increased dramatically during the course of the 20th and 21st century which is primarily due to the characteristics plastics offer in the development of new products to meet the ... -
The influence of mechanical stretching and freeze-thaw processing on the properties of polyvinyl alcohol hydrogels for drug delivery applications
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2018-04-24)The study describes the development of physically cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels using uniaxial orientation via freeze-thawing (F/T). Although cryogels have shown significant improvements in long-term ...
