Application of a Gyroid Structure for Thermal Insulation in Building Construction.

This paper concerns research into the use of 3D-printed gyroid structures as a modern thermal insulation material in construction. The study focuses on the analysis of open-cell gyroid structures and their effectiveness in insulating external building envelopes. Gyroid composite samples produced using DLP 3D-printing technology were tested to determine key parameters such as thermal conductivity (λ), thermal resistance (R) and heat transfer coefficient (U) according to ISO 9869-1:2014.

The Potential of 3D Printing in Thermal Insulating Composite Materials-Experimental Determination of the Impact of the Geometry on Thermal Resistance.

This paper focuses on the analysis of the thermal properties of prototype insulation structures produced using SLS and SLA additive technologies. There is a noticeable lack of analysis in the scientific literature regarding the geometry of 3D-printed structures in terms of their thermal properties. The aim of this paper was to analyze printed samples of prototype thermal insulation composite structures and their potential for use in building applications.

Thermal effect of Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG used for debonding ceramic and metal orthodontic brackets: An experimental analysis.

Background: In orthodontics, erbium (Er:YAG) lasers can be used for bracket debonding.

Objectives: To assess the changes in temperature of pulp and enamel during laser debonding of brackets.

Material And Methods: A total of 13 brackets (n = 13; 2 metal and 11 ceramic brackets) were bonded to 13 caries-free premolars extracted for orthodontic reasons.

Inverse Contrast in Non-Destructive Materials Research by Using Active Thermography.

Background: it is undesirable for defects to occur in building partitions and units. There is a need to develop and improve research techniques for locating such defects, especially non-destructive techniques for active thermography. The aim of the experiment was to explore the possibility of using active thermography for testing large-sized building units (with high heat capacity) in order to locate material inclusions.
