Sustainable Materials and Technologies for Biomedical Applications by Pralhad Pesode, Shivprakash Barve, Sagar V. Wankhede, Akbar Ahmad

“…Over the past few years, 3D-printed biomaterials have gained widespread usage in the manufacturing of orthopaedic implants. 3D-printed implants have low weight, minimal material waste, ease of creation, the capacity to create complex topological implants that are patient specific, and a porous structure that permits tissue development. 3D printing has the potential to reduce material waste, cut transportation costs, optimise manufacturing costs, streamline the supply chain in supply chain management (SCM), and enhance environmental sustainability by utilising the concept of production-on-demand (POD). …”

Technical, economic and lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions analyses of solid sorbent direct air capture technologies by Sylvanus Lilonfe, Sarah Rodgers, Amir F.N. Abdul-Manan, Ioanna Dimitriou, Jon McKechnie

“…The cost and GHG emissions of the five solid sorbents ranged from $20241,200–40,400/t sorbent and 3.1–12.3 tCO2e/t sorbent in 2024, respectively, mainly driven by the raw materials used for sorbent manufacture. Cost estimates for the best capture technologies ranged from $202497–168/gross tCO2 captured [$2024126–170/net tCO2 captured] in 2025 and can be further reduced to $202487–140/gross tCO2 captured [$202493–142/net tCO2 captured] in 2050. …”

Effects of Simulation-Guided Microwave Presintering Process on the Preparation and Final Properties of Pure Ceramic Rings: Lower Sintering Temperature and Higher Mechanical Propert... by Xiao Lu, Tong-Tong Zhou, Feng-He Zhao, Xiao-Xiong Wang, Li-Xiang Chen, Yun-Ze Long

“…In order to improve the performance and endurance of steel rings used for twisting and winding yarns in the textile industry, a more wear-resistant ceramic version is studied and examined by conducting multiple simulations combined with microwave sintering experiments of the ring preparation process, aiming to reduce manufacturing costs and improve efficiency. The three-dimensional (3D) electromagnetic field simulation software HFSS is used to simulate the electromagnetic field distribution in the microwave sintering cavity and to determine the electromagnetic region with the most uniform electromagnetic field to guide the microwave sintering experiments. …”
