AI-Accelerated Development of Gradient Polymer Nanocomposite Thin FilmsBy M. Nithin Srinivas, S.N. Padhi
Abstract: Gradient polymer nanocomposite thin films are an active field of materials research due to the fact that it enables scientists to de-facto regulate the optical, electrical, and mechanical properties of a film by merely altering its composition on a layer-by-layer basis. This type of control opens the gate to the improved flexible electronics, long lasting protective coats, and the new smart gadgets. The problem is, though, that it is a …

Hybrid Additive-Subtractive Manufacturing of Multi-Material Functionally Graded Components: Integration of Laser Powder Bed Fusion with High-Speed CNC Finishing for Aerospace ApplicationsBy M. Nithin Srinivas, S. N. Padhi
Abstract: The synergy involved in the merging of additive and subtractive manufacturing technologies is the game changer to generate multi-material functionally graded components to be used in the aerospace industries. The paper is an in-depth review of a proposed hybrid additive-subtractive manufacturing, which synergistically merges laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) fashioning with rapid computer numerical control finishing production processes. The multi-material deposition, thermal issues, and optimization of post-processing are the challenges …
