abstract = {Uranium plays an unquestionable role in the framework of nuclear physics, biology, and radiopharmacy. Moreover, uranyl ion UO2 2+ offers an immense variety of applications due to the unique photosensitivity of its complexes. The excited state of uranyl cation is indeed accessible under ultraviolet‐visible (UV–vis) light, readily producing radical species UO2 2+ upon light irradiation. Herein, an innovative synthesis protocol is presented to explore the use of uranyl cations as photocatalyst systems for photocurable sol–gel‐based formulations, coupling the photochemical reactions of uranyl cations with photopolymerization‐based additive manufacturing processes. Additive manufacturing has nowadays revolutionized the production of complex structures with arbitrary geometries and has opened up enticing opportunities for innovative technological breakthroughs and highly tailorable systems. The fabrication of micro‐architected components is shown via vat photopolymerization, namely, the Digital Light Processing technique, and ‐3D) printed parts are converted into uranium dicarbide (UC2)/carbon nanocomposite upon carbothermal reduction. This uranyl‐mediated additive manufacturing process constitutes the first application of the synergistic role of uranyl motifs in a photopolymer platform, demonstrating for the first time the possibility to directly pattern uranium‐based materials in complex structures.},

abstract = {Direct ink writing (DIW) is an attractive additive manufacturing (AM) technology because of its simplicity, production speed, and feedstock flexibility; in addition, the use of a limited amount of binder makes the subsequent thermal debinding process easy. Nevertheless, the conventional approach to debind and sinter AMed components remains extremely slow, representing a bottleneck in the manufacturing process. In order to address such limitation, we explored different rapid sintering strategies: ultrafast high‐temperature sintering (UHS), pressureless spark plasma sintering (P‐SPS), and fast firing (FF), for the densification of BaTiO<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> components fabricated by DIW, one of the widely used lead‐free piezoceramics. All sintering technologies allow debinding and sintering of crack‐free components in a few minutes instead of several hours. The final density and microstructure are strongly dependent on the sintering atmosphere (inert for UHS and P‐SPS, air for FF) and a maximum relative density of only ≈72% was obtained when firing occurred in an inert environment, irrespective of the sintering technique (UHS and P‐SPS). An undesired phase transition from tetragonal to hexagonal BaTiO<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> was also observed upon UHS and ‐PSPS. On the contrary, FF in air yielded a density of about 95% in a few minutes while maintaining the desired tetragonal polymorph. The results provide proof of feasibility for rapid processing of BaTiO<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> components obtained by DIW.},

abstract = {Additive manufacturing techniques have gone beyond their reputation for rapid prototype production and are increasingly adopted for the manufacture of functional components comprising high-end materials and intricate lattice structures. Silicon nitride, renowned for its exceptional mechanical properties and thermal stability, has emerged as a promising candidate for lightweight structural applications. Nonetheless, its high refractive index and density have limited the fabrication of highly complex structures using extrusion and photopolymerization based techniques. In this work, a highly reactive silicon nitride-based ink with high solid loading is developed for the fabrication of ultra-lightweight, truss-based structures. By employing a robot UV-assisted direct ink writing process, it is possible to control the printing head orientation, thus overcoming the limited curing depth of silicon nitride-based inks. The failure behavior of the sintered lattice beam structures under 4-point bending loading has been modeled by applying a linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) based approach to the results of finite element (FE) simulations.},

abstract = {Additive manufacturing (AM) of ceramics has significantly contributed to advancements in ceramic fabrication, solving some of the difficulties of conventional ceramic processing and providing additional possibilities for the structure and function of components. However, defects induced by the layer‐by‐layer approach on which traditional AM techniques are based still constitute a challenge to address. This study presents the volumetric AM of a SiOC ceramic from a preceramic polymer using xolography, a linear volumetric AM process that allows to avoid the staircase effect typical of other vat photopolymerization techniques. Besides optimizing the trade‐off between preceramic polymer content and transmittance, a pore generator is introduced to create transient channels for gas release before decomposition of the organic constituents and moieties, resulting in crack‐free solid ceramic structures even at low ceramic yield. Formulation optimization alleviated sinking of printed parts during printing and prevented shape distortion. Complex solid and porous ceramic structures with a smooth surface and sharp features are fabricated under the optimized parameters. This work provides a new method for the AM of ceramics at µm/mm scale with high surface quality and large geometry variety in an efficient way, opening the possibility for applications in fields such as micromechanical systems and microelectronic components.},

The catalysts were characterized by morphological (XRD and SEM), textural (BET and pore size distribution), chemical (ICP-MS), red-ox (H2-TPR), and surface (NH3-TPD) analyses. The silica-based binder uniformly covered the SSZ-13 particles, and copper was uniformly distributed as well. The main features of the pure Cu-exchanged SSZ-13 zeolite were preserved in the composite monoliths with a negligible contribution of the binder fraction. NH3-SCR tests, carried out on both monolithic and powdered samples in the temperature range of 70–550 °C, showed that composite monoliths provided very good activity, and that the intrinsic activity of SSZ-13 was enhanced by the hierarchical structure of the composite material.},

abstract = {Material extrusion (MEX) of thermoplastic filaments represents one of the most widely adopted additive manufacturing (AM) technologies. Unlike vat photopolymerization and powder-bed fusion methods that require high energy sources such as UV light and lasers, this fabrication method can be adapted for the fabrication of ceramics by using ceramic loaded filaments as feedstock, yet still employing relatively cheap equipment meant for polymeric materials with little adaptation of the process parameters; this potentially enables a broader diffusion of AM ceramic components. In this work, composite filaments with various weight fractions (60 – 80wt.%) of BaTiO3 were fabricated and characterized by electron microscopy, compressive mechanical testing, rheometry and thermogravimetric analysis to ensure a smooth and reliable printing process. After optimizing the printing parameters, the dense and porous printed samples were carefully debinded and sintered to obtain dense (~ 92%) and defect-free ceramic bodies. The sintered samples were characterized for phase development, microstructure, and pore size distribution. Careful observations reveal a particular range of pore size (0.1 – 5µm), which originates from the binder burn out process. The dielectric and ferroelectric properties of the fabricated samples were in good agreement with those reported in previous literature. This work provides a foundation for rapid prototyping of functional electro ceramics into reliable products with desired functional properties.},

However, fabricating sophisticated structures with large spanning parts and overhanging features using this technology is still a challenge. Here, UV-assisted additive manufacturing is enabled by performing material extrusion with the assistance of UV light using mixture of a preceramic polymer and a photopolymer. The rheological properties of the ink were investigated under UV light radiation to optimize the printing parameters to achieve excellent printability. Complex ceramic structures were fabricated with this method, such as spiral and truss structures, which would be very difficult to obtain using traditional material extrusion without sacrificial supports. These structures have potential application in lightweight ceramic components, such as sandwich structures.},

The main objectives of the work are to study the effects of powders composition and powder:binder volume ratio on rheological properties and printability of the inks. Following these results, customized Gcode is developed using FullControl Gcode Designer open‐source software to 3D print intricate tetrachiral auxetic structures. The results reported in this work show how powder composition (316L versus Cu) has less effect on the inks’ rheological behavior than powder size distribution and powders:binder volume ratio. In terms of rheological parameters, the zero‐shear rate viscosity mainly affects the capability of the printed ink to retain its shape after printing, while the yield stress affects the printability. The printed and sintered auxetic structures achieve the intended lattice‐geometry design.},

Herein, we prove for the first time that ultra-rapid debinding and sintering are possible for complex 3YSZ components produced using material extrusion technology. The printed components were first chemically debinded in acetone thus removing about one-half of the binder, and then thermally debinded and sintered by ultrafast high-temperature sintering (UHS) in a single-step process (30 to 120s). Fully dense components were obtained with tailored microstructure and nanometric grain size. The sintered artefacts were crack-free even at the microscopic level.

abstract = {The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system in automobile using urea solution as a source of NH3 suffer from solid deposit problem in pipe lines and poor efficiency during engine startup. Although direct use of high pressure NH3 is restricted due to safety concern, which can be overcome by using solid sorbents as NH3 carrier. Strontium chloride (SrCl2) is considered the best sorbent due to its high sorption capacity; however, challenges are associated with the processing of stable engineering structures due to extraordinary volume expansion during the NH3 sorption. This study reports the fabrication of a novel structure consisting of a zeolite cage enclosing the SrCl2 pellet (SPZC) through extrusion-based 3D printing (Direct Ink Writing). The printed SPZC structure demonstrated steady sorption of NH3 for 10 consecutive cycles without significant uptake capacity and structural integrity loss. Furthermore, the structure exhibited improved sorption and desorption kinetics than pure SrCl2. The synergistic effect of zeolite as physisorbent and SrCl2 as chemisorbent in the novel composite structure enabled the low-pressure (<0.4 bar) and high-pressure (>0.4 bar) NH3 sorption, compared to pure SrCl2, which absorbed NH3 at pressures above 0.4 bar. Regeneration of SPZC composite sorbent under evacuation showed that 87.5% percent of NH3 was desorbed at 20 °C. Thus, the results demonstrate that the rationally designed novel SPZC structure offers safe and efficient storage of NH3 in the SCR system and other applications.},

The addition of Triton X-100 surfactant was considered to obtain foams starting from slurries with different liquid-to-solid ratio.

Cubic geopolymer samples were prepared by mixing the slurry for 1 h in a thermostatic bath at 0 °C. >1200 samples have been tested to gather enough data to carry out a meaningful statistical analysis. All the data evaluation and model development have been carried out extensively using R. The variation of curing and aging time, curing temperature, SiO2/Al2O3 and H2O/Al2O3 molar ratios has been accounted for via the application of statistical models whose reliability has been suitably checked. Curing has been performed in a sealed container at 100% relative humidity. Aging has been conducted in a climate chamber kept at 75% of relative humidity using an oversaturated solution of NaCl. Curing time has proved a positive relationship with compressive strength while aging time does not show evidence of any significant effect. Curing temperature negatively affects compressive strength. Increasing the SiO2/Al2O3 molar ratio results in an increase of the compressive strength within a certain range of values for the ratio; however, above a threshold (3.8 for the potassium-based and 3.4 for the sodium-based geopolymer system) the mechanical properties decrease. The H2O/Al2O3 molar ratio displayed an inverse proportionality with the compressive strength except for the sodium-based geopolymer, where the mechanical properties initially increased. A further comprehensive and statistically sound model has been proposed that allows us to predict the strength of geopolymer samples as a function of process variables and their composition, ranging in a rather wide set of values.},
