ANALYSIS OF INJECTION MOULDING OF CERAMICS COMPOUNDS BY THE THEORY OF SYSTEMS
The main purpose of this paper is to present the theoretical systemic analysis of injection moulding of ceramic compounds (CIM) with Rophol’s theoretical definitions. The systemic analysis also includes the making of a basic model of CIM. The main principles of CIM and all phenomena connected with the process are represented by means of inputs, outputs and relations. This systemic analysis will be used as a base for easier understanding of this new technology of injection moulding.

Integrating Al with NiO nano honeycomb to realize an energetic material on silicon substrate
Nano energetic materials offer improved performance in energy release, ignition, and mechanical properties compared to their bulk or micro counterparts. In this study, the authors propose an approach to synthesize an Al/NiO based nano energetic material which is fully compatible with a microsystem. A two-dimensional NiO nano honeycomb is first realized by thermal oxidation of a Ni thin film deposited onto a silicon substrate by thermal evaporation. Then the NiO nano honeycomb is integrated with an Al that is deposited by thermal evaporation to realize an Al/NiO based nano energetic material. This approach has several advantages over previous investigations, such as lower ignition temperature, enhanced interfacial contact area, reduced impurities and Al oxidation, tailored dimensions, and easier integration into a microsystem to realize functional devices. The synthesized Al/NiO based nano energetic material is characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry.
