Comparison of dry and wet fibre laser profile cutting of thin 316L stainless steel tubes for medical device applications
(Elsevier B.V., 2010-11-19)
In medical coronary stent fabrication, high precision profile cutting with minimum post-processing is desirable. Existing methods of profiling thin tubular metallic materials are based mainly on the use of Nd:YAG lasers. ...
Picosecond laser micromachining of nitinol and platinum-iridium alloy for coronary stent applications
(Springer-Verlag, 2012-03)
The demand for micromachining of coronary stents by means of industrial lasers rises quickly for treating coronary artery diseases, which cause more than one million deaths each year. The most widely used types of laser ...
Potential of cassava root as a raw material for bio composite development
(Asian Research Publishing Network (ARPN), 2016-05)
In recent years, a lot of researches have done by domestic and foreign scholars to enhance and improve the development of man-made board production that based on natural fiber and agricultural residues. Due to a worldwide ...
Picosecond laser fabrication of nitinol for coronary stent applications
(Laser Institute of America, 2010)
Nitinol (a shape memory nickel-titanium alloy) is one of the desirable materials for medical stents applications, due to its high corrosion resistance, self-expansion and biocompatibility. The stents are commonly fabricated ...
Laser cutting of coronary stents: Progress and development in laser based stent cutting technology
(Trans Tech Publications Ltd., 2015)
Laser cutting is one of the key fabrication technologies applied to coronary stent manufacture. This paper reviews the recent progress in laser-based stent manufacturing, including different type of lasers used, laser ...
Sustainable use of cassava plant waste (branches) as raw material for bio-composite development: Particleboard properties due to plant maturity
(Asian Research Publishing Network (ARPN), 2016-05-10)
This research is to study the sustainable use of Cassava Manihot Esculenta Crantz waste from branches parted as a raw material for bio-composite development. Bio-composite is component phase that derived from biological ...
Underwater femtosecond laser micromachining of thin nitinol tubes for medical coronary stent manufacture
(Springer-Verlag, 2012-06)
Microprofiling of medical coronary stents has been dominated by the use of Nd:YAG lasers with pulse lengths in the range of a few milliseconds, and material removal is based on the melt ejection with a high-pressure gas. ...
Three-phase 3D modelling of a laser cutting process using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH)
(Laser Institute of America, 2012)
Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is used to develop a numerical model to simulate the three-phase laser cutting process for medical coronary stent manufacture. The open-source code SPHysics is used to model the ...
Comparison of dry and wet fibre laser precision cutting for coronary stent manufacture
(Laser Institute of America, 2010)
High precision laser micromachining is extensively used in medical device industry. In medical stent fabrication, the processed stents must exhibit mechanically robust structures and high surface quality. High cost of post ...
Characteristics of thermoplastic potato starch/bentonite nanocomposite film
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2018-06)
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of bentonite towards thermoplastic potato starch nanocomposite films on the mechanical, microstructure and physical properties. The nanocomposite films were prepared using ...
