Article Synopsis
- Two types of porous supporting materials were developed using chemical vapor deposition: CNT-decorated diatomite (CNT/DE) and CNT sponges (CNS) for creating form-stable phase-change material (PCM) composites with polyethylene glycol (PEG).
- The CNT/DE matrix featured well-entangled nanotubes and enabled high PEG loading (75 wt%) without leakage, while the CNS formed a 3D porous structure that also supported high PEG incorporation.
- Both PCM composites exhibited excellent thermal reliability through numerous melting-solidification cycles and demonstrated reduced cooling power requirements in building applications, indicating their potential for effective thermal energy storage in building materials.
In the field of regenerative medicine, acrylated epoxidized vegetable oils are emerging as a promising avenue of exploration. The aim of this study is to evaluate the degradability of two formulations of acrylated epoxidized soybean oil (AESO): pure AESO and AESO diluted with soybean oil (SO) for potential bioprintability applications. The comprehensive investigation of these two polymeric formulations included optimization of polymerization conditions, confirmation of cytocompatibility, and, most importantly, the study of their degradability.

These properties have been studied and deepened in recent years, so much so that nanoenergetics have been introduced into the use of the weapons industry, among others. It is therefore an emerging reality that deserves attention with regard to potential harmful effects on human and environmental health.

While in Bragaglia et al. the mechanical characteristics of this sample were analyzed, the aim used of this study is to compare the mentioned mFFF process with one of the most used MAM processes in aerospace applications, known as Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), based on the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method.
