Efforts to shift from petrochemical plastics to renewable and biodegradable plastics have proven tricky — the production process can require toxic chemicals and is expensive, and the mechanical strength and water stability is often insufficient. But researchers have made a breakthrough, using wood byproducts, that shows promise for producing more durable and sustainable bioplastics.

In order to address the difficulty of freeform fabrication via extrusion-based printing, the use of microparticulate gels as embedding media has been widely explored. Such methods are collectively termed embedded 3D printing (e3DP).

In these demonstrations, the gels behaved as Bingham plastics with a low modulus and low yield stress during the printing of...Read More>>>
Manufacturing is forecast to come roaring back in the second half of 2021, according to many leading indices. This is fantastic news for the US economy but poses significant challenges for the manufacturing sector due to unique complications brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting supply chain disruptions.

According to the IHS Markit and the Institute for Supply Management's activity data for February, both...Read More>>>
