Master Bond UV15DC80: Utilized in ultraviolet-assisted three-dimensional printing

Master Bond UV15DC80 is a dual-cure epoxy-based system that undergoes a primary cure upon UV light exposure, followed by a secondary heat cure. This unique dual-cure system helps account for shadowing issues that may occur during UV curing. This makes it especially suitable for applications involving shadowed out portions, which cannot be exposed to UV […]

TU Delft researchers discover new ultra strong material for microchip sensors

Researchers at Delft University of Technology, led by assistant professor Richard Norte, have unveiled a remarkable new material with potential to impact the world of material science: amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC). Beyond its exceptional strength, this material demonstrates mechanical properties crucial for vibration isolation on a microchip. Amorphous silicon carbide is therefore particularly suitable for […]

One Minute Mentor: Heat Transfer in a Fluidized Bed Furnace

One of the major attributes of the fluidized bed is the high rate at which heat can be transferred from the bed of particles to an immersed object. Coefficients of heat transfer on the order of 400 to 740 W/m2 · K (70 to 130 Btu/ft2 · h · °F) are possible. This heat flow […]
