  • Linear nanopositioning translational motion stage based on novel composite materials
    Patent number: 6638625
    Abstract: A nanopositioner made of novel materials is provided. The materials exhibit desirable properties such as low density and low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) derived from their ceramic matrices, but show even better (higher) Young's modulus of elasticity and flexural strength than neat ceramics. The materials are also amenable to wire electric discharge machining.
