Shape memory polymer hexachiral auxetic structures with tunable stiffness (2014)
Journal Article
Rossiter, J., Takashima, K., Scarpa, F., Walters, P., & Mukai, T. (2014). Shape memory polymer hexachiral auxetic structures with tunable stiffness. Smart Materials and Structures, 23(4), https://doi.org/10.1088/0964-1726/23/4/045007

Planar auxetic structures have the potential to impact on a wide range of applications from deployable and morphing structures to space-filling composite and medical treatments. The ability to fabricate auxetics from smart materials greatly enhances... Read More about Shape memory polymer hexachiral auxetic structures with tunable stiffness.

An investigation into the micro surface of artworks using alternative lighting techniques (2014)
Journal Article
Parraman, C., & Tisato, F. (2014). An investigation into the micro surface of artworks using alternative lighting techniques. Proceedings of SPIE, 9018, https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2041209

The objective is to create a micro-environment-an illuminated dome with a constant geometry of illumination-to undertake non invasive observation of the surface topography of artworks. The dome is attached to a stereo-microscope, which is able to gai... Read More about An investigation into the micro surface of artworks using alternative lighting techniques.

The visual appearance and surface texture of materials according to the old masters (2014)
Journal Article
Parraman, C. (2014). The visual appearance and surface texture of materials according to the old masters. Proceedings of SPIE, 9018, https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2041216

Primary components in the colour reproduction of textured materials are firstly, the accurate rendering of the appearance of texture, and secondly the ability to print a surface topology that moves towards 2.5D printing. However, in order to render s... Read More about The visual appearance and surface texture of materials according to the old masters.

Estimating neugebauer primaries for multi-channel spectral printing modeling (2014)
Journal Article
Olen, M., Slavuj, R., Coppel, L. G., & Hardeberg, J. Y. (2014). Estimating neugebauer primaries for multi-channel spectral printing modeling. Proceedings of SPIE, 9018, https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2044041

Multichannel printer modeling has been an active area of research in the field of spectral printing. The most commonly used models for characterization of such systems are the spectral Neugebauer (SN) and its extensions. This work addresses issues th...
