Abstract: Direct ink writing (DIW) process is a facile additive manufacturing technology to fabricate three-dimensional (3D) objects with various materials. Its versatility has attracted considerable interest in academia and industry ...

Abstract: Thermal insulation materials reduce heat transfer and are typically made from materials like fiberglass, foam, or mineral wool, which are engineered to trap air and hinder heat conduction and convection. The traditional ...

Abstract: This work presents a fast additive manufacturing (AM) protocol for fabricating multi-network hydrogels. A gas-permeable PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) film creates a polymerization-inhibition zone, enabling continuous ...

Abstract: Abstract. Biomass materials are agricultural byproducts generated following seasonal harvesting. Their unique fibrous structure imparts low thermal conductivity, high porosity, and resilience, making biomass a sustainable ...

Abstract: Abstract. Ambient drying is a low-cost and scalable process where moisture evaporates under room temperature and humidity conditions, making it attractive for biomass material manufacturing due to its low energy consumption ...

Abstract: The conventional manufacturing processes for aerogel insulation materials mostly rely on the supercritical drying, which suffers from issues of massive energy consumption, high-cost equipment, and prolonged processing time. ...
