Affordable High-Resolution LCD 3D Printing via Advanced Ink Formulation for Conventional and Biocompatible Microfluidic Devices by Elfarargy, Reham Gamal

“…Overall, these results establish a practical, low-cost workflow for calibrating commercial resins and engineering printable hydrogels to achieve enclosed microfluidics and mechanically relevant microstructures on desktop LCD printers, enabling substantial performance gains through formulation and exposure design rather than hardware upgrades.…”

The influence of copper addition on the corrosion behaviour of low nickel austenitic stainless steels by Vismer, Suzanne Lisa

“…[page ii missing] The influence of copper and nitrogen as partial substitutes for nickel on the corrosion performance of three metastable austenitic stainless steels, in various microstructural conditions, has been investigated. These alloys (based on AISI 301), which are to be used essentially in forming applications, were developed to counteract the increasing cost of nickel. …”
