A novel approach to design lesion-specific stents for minimum recoil (2016)
Journal Article
Farhan Khan, M., Brackett, D., Ashcroft, I., Tuck, C., & Wildman, R. D. (in press). A novel approach to design lesion-specific stents for minimum recoil. Journal of Medical Devices, 11(1), Article 011001. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4034880

Stent geometries are obtained by topology optimization for minimized compliance under different stenosis levels and plaque material types. Three levels of stenosis by cross-sectional area, i.e., 30%, 40%, and 50% and three different plaque material p...

Journal Article
He, Y., Tuck, C., Prina, E., Kilsby, S., Christie, S. D., Edmondson, S., Hague, R. J., Rose, F. R., & Wildman, R. D. (2017). A new photocrosslinkable polycaprolactone based ink for three dimensional inkjet printing. Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B: Applied Biomaterials, 105(6), 1645-1657. https://doi.org/10.1002/jbm.b.33699

A new type of photocrosslinkable polycaprolactone
(PCL)-based ink that is suitable for three-dimensional (3D) inkjet printing has been developed. Photocrosslinkable PCL dimethylacrylate was synthesized and mixed with poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate...

Inkjet printing of polyimide insulators for the 3D printing of dielectric materials for microelectronic applications (2016)
Journal Article
Zhang, F., Tuck, C., Hague, R. J., He, Y., Saleh, E., Li, Y., Sturgess, C., & Wildman, R. D. (2016). Inkjet printing of polyimide insulators for the 3D printing of dielectric materials for microelectronic applications. Journal of Applied Polymer Science, https://doi.org/10.1002/APP.43361

In this article, we report the first continuous fabrication of inkjet-printed polyimide films, which were used as insulating layers for the production of capacitors. The polyimide ink was prepared from its precursor poly(amic) acid, and directly prin...

Shape complexity and process energy consumption in electron beam melting: a case of something for nothing in additive manufacturing? (2016)
Journal Article
Baumers, M., Tuck, C., Wildman, R. D., Ashcroft, I., & Hague, R. J. (in press). Shape complexity and process energy consumption in electron beam melting: a case of something for nothing in additive manufacturing?. Journal of Industrial Ecology, https://doi.org/10.1111/jiec.12397

Additive manufacturing (AM) technology is capable of building up component geometry in a layer-by-layer process, entirely without tools, molds, or dies. One advantage of the approach is that it is capable of efficiently creating complex product geome...

Nanoindentation shows uniform local mechanical properties across melt pools and layers produced by selective laser melting of AlSi10Mg alloy (2016)
Journal Article
Everitt, N. M., Aboulkhair, N. T., Maskery, I., Tuck, C., & Ashcroft, I. (2016). Nanoindentation shows uniform local mechanical properties across melt pools and layers produced by selective laser melting of AlSi10Mg alloy. https://doi.org/10.5185/amlett.2016.6171

Single track and single layer AlSi10Mg has been produced by selective laser melting (SLM) of alloy powder on a AlSi12 cast substrate. The SLM technique produced a cellular-dendritic ultra-fined grained microstructure. Chemical composition mapping an...
