In nanomanufacturing, missing observations often appear in designs because the combination of factors or molecular structures selected by a designer cannot be experimented successfully. In the current paper, Box-Behnken and face-centered composite designs were studied and eight robustness criteria including D-efficiency, tmax, tmax‏(                         ), and their related sub-criteria were considered to evaluate the robustness of the aforementioned designs. Finally, the integrated TOPSIS-AHP methodology was employed to select the most suitable robust design, and a numerical example was also presented to assess the applicability of the proposed approach}, keywords = {Robustness criteria,Preferred robust response surface design,TOPSIS-AHP methodology,Nanomanufacturing}, url = {https://jqepo.shahed.ac.ir/article_681.html}, eprint = {https://jqepo.shahed.ac.ir/article_681_8c4330053cc6192fe3c842aa45bda3b5.pdf} }
