Electrochemical micromachining (EMM) is a plausible method for manufacturing high accuracy and precision microscale components in a broad range of materials. EMM is commonly utilized to manufacture turbine blades for automobiles and aircrafts. In this present study, the EMM process was performed with a heat-treated copper tool electrode on aluminum 8011 alloy.

The results obtained from different analyses confirmed that the TiO NPs was fine dispersed within the PVF matrix and there exists well compatibility among the polymer matrix and the nanofiller. The pristine TiO NPs based fabricated chemiresistive sensor exhibits the maximum sensitivity of 50.
