Programmable morphing, electroactive porous shape memory polymer composites with battery-voltage Joule heating stimulated recovery by Lai-Iskandar, S., Li, Wenhao, Tsang, S. H., Lee, Y. H., Teo, Edwin Hang Tong

“…Our method can be compatible with kirigami techniques for the design of hierarchical and combinatorial shape-change structures. 3DC not only serves as an intrinsic heater but, during synthesis, its cell walls also act as a confinement framework for architecting porosity within 3DC-eSMPCs, which can be actuated with low-voltage (7.5 V, <2 W). The herein reported 3DC-eSMPC and its synthesis strategy represent a new method and material to fabricate low-voltage deployables of bespoked shapes, capable of low-voltage actuation.…”

Oleaginous microalga coccomyxa subellipsoidea as a highly effective cell factory for CO₂ fixation and high-protein biomass production by optimal supply of inorganic carbon and nitr... by Liu, Yu, Wei, Dong, Chen, Weining

“…To achieve high-efficient CO2 fixation and high-protein biomass production, the oleaginous microalga Coccomyxa subellipsoidea (C. subellipsoidea) was cultivated autotrophically through optimizing inorganic carbon and nitrogen supply. 0.42 g L-1 NaHCO3 supplemented with 2% CO2 as a hybrid carbon source resulted in high biomass concentration (3.89 g L-1) and productivity (318.33) with CO2 fixation rate 544.21 mg L-1 d-1 in shake flasks. Then, used in a 5-L photo-fermenter, the maximal protein content (60.93% DW) in batch 1, and the highest CO2 fixation rate (1043.95 mg L-1 d-1) with protein content (58.48% DW) in batch 2 of repeated fed-batch cultures were achieved under 2.5 g L-1 nitrate. …”

Effects of wood composition in 3D printing of wood-polylactic acid composites by Lim, Sean Zhi Xuan

“…Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were employed to analyse composites with varying wood concentrations (5%, 7.5%, and 10% by weight). The DSC analysis revealed that wood additives increase the glass transition temperature (Tg) of PLA and affect both crystallization and melting behaviours. …”
