The Microstereolithography System at IISc
A microstereolithography system for rapid
prototyping of 3D objects has been built. Studies
have been conducted on preparation of polymer
samples using this technique.
Laboratory prototypes have been developed for
Tin oxide based gas sensors including a microheater
and ASIC for controlling the sensor
operating temperature.
An Ultrasonic Nozzle based Spraying System has
been developed for the growth of nanoparticles
and nano structured thin films. This system has
been used for the growth of SnO2 nanoparticles
upto 5 nm.
Quantum Dots of semi-conducting materials like
CdS and CdSSe have been grown in silica glass
matrix and using these Quantum Dots, 475 nm and
575 nm optical cut off filters have been developed
which have various applications such as for Space
and Railways.
Transfer of Technology
The technology developed for detection of TNT
vapors using fluorescence quenching principle is
being explored for commercialization.
