报告摘要：
Polymer composites have been widely used in varied applications, such as transport, construction, electric and electronic fields. With the fast growth of polymer-based materials, they bring some high fire risk to the society. In this lecture, the new generation functionalized nanomaterials will be discussed to be used in polymers aiming at improving the comprehensive properties, in particular the improvement of the fire safety. Series novel functionalized nanomaterials, such as layered double hydroxide, nano-silica, nanocarnons, will be discussed in varied polymer system.

报告摘要：
Advancements in additive manufacturing system that impacts the patient care of custom orthoses are presented. Orthoses, also known as braces, are assistive devices for structural support of the neuromuscular and musculoskeletal systems to help people with impairments to regain their mobility and independent living. Custom orthoses has personalized fit, better comfort, and superior efficacy in treatment than pre-fabricated ones for users. Unlike factory with engineers on-site, the digital design and manufacturing are challenges in the hospital setting. This talk presents a cyber-physical manufacturing system at the University of Michigan Orthotic and Prosthetic Center (UMOPC) with cloud-based design and additive manufacturing (AM) of the ankle-foot orthosis (AFO). The fabrication time and material cost for AM are critical to provide advantages over the conventional methods for fabrication. This system targets to achieve the one-day visit for stroke patients who need AFO. Key elements of the manufacturing system presented in this talk include the: (1) digital scanning of the foot and leg, (2) CAD software for process and exchange the surface and solid .STL files, (3) web-portal for clinician and design engineer, (4) wavy structure tool path planning for AFO, (5) fused deposition modeling (FDM) of carbon fiber in Nylon for hard structural and soft silicone for wearable assistive devices, and (6) inertia measurement unit (IMU) for gait analysis and monitoring of users. Measurement techniques for evaluation and quality control are presented. Expansion of this manufacturing system for prosthetic socket, foot orthoses, and other assistive devices are elaborated. Altogether, the cyber-physical service system (CPSS) features the one-day delivery, passive dynamics for personal needs, long-term monitoring using the IMU for custom assistive devices and demonstrate the potential societal impacts enabled by the virtual manufacturing of personalized products.
