Performance analysis of cow dung as an eco-friendly additive material for sustainable moulding and casting

China Foundry, 2019
In the present work, an attempt is made to partially replace high cost silica sand with sustainable eco-friendly cow-dung. The practical utility of cow dung as an additive material that facilitates binding in sand moulds has been tested.

A Thermoreversible Gelation Pathway to Plant Cuticle‐Inspired Biopolymer Aerogel Monoliths Based on Network‐Spherulitic Crystal Assemblies

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
To address functionality limitations in plant‐based and industrially compostable polymer aerogels, this work introduces bio‐inspired aerogels with broadened functionality. Inspired by functional plant tissues, lightweight biopolymer aerogels based on exclusively stereocomplex crystals are fabricated, featuring hierarchically macro‐/meso‐porous ...

Comparison of the Emission of Aromatic Hydrocarbons from Moulding Sands with Furfural Resin with the Low Content of Furfuryl Alcohol and Different Activators

Archives of Foundry Engineering, 2016
No-bake process refers to the use of chemical binders to bond the moulding sand. Sand is moved to the mould fill station in preparation for filling of the mould. A mixer is used to blend the sand with the chemical binder and activator.

Seamless Mechanical Programming Through Hybrid Epoxy–Acrylate Printing for Soft–Rigid Robots

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Hybrid epoxy‐acrylate printing enables seamless fabrication of soft–rigid robotic systems with covalently integrated interfaces and functionally graded mechanics. Grayscale exposure expands the accessible material space, enabling spatially programmed actuation through patterned stiffness while revealing the mechanics and durability of continuously ...

The Influence of Overheating Temperature on the Shape Change of Primary Silicon Crystals and the Mechanical Properties of AlSi17 Alloy [PDF]

Archives of Foundry Engineering
The article presents the concept of overheating the liquid AlSi17 alloy significantly above the Tliq. temperature, holding it at this temperature for a specified time, and casting it into two moulds with different cooling rates: a bentonite-based sand ...

Nonplanar Bouligand Architectures for Enhanced Mechanical Performance in Cementitious Composites

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by the impact region of the Mantis shrimp dactyl club, nonplanar additive manufacturing translates sinusoidal Bouligand architectures into cementitious composites. Printing‐induced anisotropy and architected interfaces promote distributed damage and arrest crack propagation, enhancing strength and energy absorption.

Descriptor‐Informed Screening of Interface‐Active Molecules for Efficient Magnesium Metal Anodes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A descriptor‐informed molecular screening strategy identifies 4‐bromo‐N, N‐dimethylaniline (BrNNA) as an interface‐active electrolyte component that enables fast Mg stripping/plating in Mg(TFSI)2‐based electrolytes. By simultaneously regulating Mg2+ solvation and interphase formation, the BrNNA‐containing electrolyte delivers activation‐free Mg ...
