Synthesis, mechanical properties, and microstructure of dual-matrix (DM) aluminum-boron nitride nanotube (Al-BNNT) composites

Kirolos Bastwros et al.

Summary: Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) are structurally similar to carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and have comparable mechanical properties. In addition, they surpass CNTs in terms of thermal stability and inertness. A novel Al-BNNT dual matrix composite is investigated in this study, and it is found that the dual matrix composite exhibits enhanced mechanical properties without significant reduction in ductility, compared to the bi-modal Al.

Growing living and multifunctional mycelium composites for large-scale formwork applications using robotic abrasive wire-cutting

Elise Elsacker et al.

Summary: This paper presents four key developments that are leading to the scalability of the fabrication processes of mycelium material, focusing on biological and digital fabrication pipeline, robotic wire-cutting, multifunctional formwork using mycelium materials, and self-healing of fungal organisms. The research aims to investigate the processing approaches, material handling, and properties of large biohybrid foam blocks, which combine different materials with hybrid physical and architectural properties. The integration of microbiological systems and fibrous substrates creates a unique class of bioactive composite materials with potential applications in the construction sector.

Guayule (Parthenium argentatum) resin: A review of chemistry, extraction techniques, and applications

Mostafa Dehghanizadeh et al.

Summary: Guayule is a perennial shrub that produces high-quality hypoallergenic natural rubber, and its processing generates three output streams including high-molecular weight rubber, resin/low molecular weight rubber, and woody bagasse. Guayule resin has economic potential in various applications such as residential pesticides, paints and coatings, wood preservative coatings, amine-epoxy strippable coatings, and adhesives. Pressurized solvent extractions like supercritical CO2 extraction show promise for scale-up due to their efficiency in extraction times, energy requirements, and solvent consumption.
