Biopolymer Composites Material Extrusion and their Applications: A Review

“…The ultrasonic probe can generate ultra‐high frequency (>20 kHz) that can vigorously break and separate fillers from agglomerates into the nanoscale state. [ 104 ] Some of this energy is lost as heat; care has to be taken using an ultrasonic probe to avoid overheating the materials. This type of powder is often used in polymer melts in a heated ink barrel, and this process needs high extrusion force and is similar to FDM but with minimal loading of inks.…”

Efficient and recyclable Nd3+-doped CoFe2O4 for boosted visible light-driven photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B dye

“…5 Over the past years, nanostructured photocatalysts, including but not limited to TiO 2 , ZnO, and WO 3 , have observed signicant growth and have been utilized for various applications in wastewater treatment, electrochemical, energy storage, and sensing. 6,7 Ferrite-based semiconductor photocatalysts are of great interest owing to their unique electronic structure and magnetism. 8 Among common ferrites, CoFe 2 O 4 has a narrow band gap energy of 1.6-2.4 eV, making it capable of harvesting photons from visible light.…”

Fuel-assisted polyol reduction for highly transparent and efficient Pt counter electrodes in bifacial dye-sensitized solar cells

“…In recent decades, solution combustion synthesis (SCS) has emerged as a potent method to synthesize nanomaterials. [13][14][15][16] SCS can offer a game-changing approach for the preparation of Pt CEs. It initiates a self-sustained exothermic reaction between an oxidizer and an organic fuel, typically at a temperature range of 150 1C and 200 1C.…”
