Evaluation of creation and mechanical properties of CNF-reinforced photopolymer composites

One method of manufacturing MEMS is the strereolithography which uses UV photopolymer. Microelements, however, fabricated by stereolithography have poorer strength than metal components usually used to machine. So that reason, it is applied in limited fields. Mechanical properties of micromaterials are different from those of bulk materials and characterization of mechanical properties for micro specimens is needed to design reliable micromachines and MEMS.
