Abstract :
This research work deals with the method for manufacturing unidirectional whisker reinforced micropart by laser photolithography. In this method, by applying direct current (DC) to mixture of photopolymer and whisker, the axis of the whisker is aligned along the direction of the electric field. The polymer is solidified by UV laser beam writing during applying the direct current. The paper examines the alignment of the whisker by this method
