This study presented a comprehensive computational fluid dynamics-based model for fused filament fabrication (FFF) three-dimensional (3D) printing multiphase and multiphysics coupling. A model based on the framework of computational fluid dynamics was built, utilizing the front-tracking method for high precision of multiphase material interfaces, a fully resolved simulation at the mesoscale explores the underlying physical mechanism of the self-supported horizontal printing. The study investigated the influence of printing temperature and velocity on the FFF process, exhibiting a certain self-supporting forming ability over a specific range. The results indicated that during the printing of large-span horizontal extension structures, the bridge deck material transitions from initial straight extension to sagging deformation, ultimately adopting a curved shape. The straight extension distance is inversely proportional to the depth of the sagging deformation. Additionally, the study revealed that printing temperature primarily affected the curing time of the molten material, while printing velocity fundamentally affected the relaxation time of both thermal and dynamic characteristics of the material.

Weaving, a pivotal technique in human construction activities since the Neolithic era, remains unattainable in modern concrete construction. Here, a novel particle-polymer coalescence strategy is proposed, which involves electrostatic, bridging, coordinating, and hydrogen bonding interactions, to establish balanced particle cohesion, enabling the fabrication of stretchable cement slurry. The bending, knotting, coiling, winding, and interlacing of cement filaments for structural textiles is successfully realized beyond traditional formwork casting, grouting, and 3D-printing, and fabricate the first-ever Chinese knot woven with cement.

This study explored a facile method for converting macadamia nutshells into bio-based nanomaterials, including cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) and lignin nanoparticles (LNPs), through deep eutectic solvent (DES) pretreatment coupled with a nanofabrication strategy. Comparisons of the physicochemical, morphological, and structural properties of the CNF and LNPs produced through acidic choline chloride/oxalic acid dihydrate (ACDES) and alkaline KCO/glycerol DES (ALDES) pretreatments were conducted using SEM, TEM, FTIR, XRD, TGA, GPC and 2D NMR. The CNFs obtained from ACDES pretreatment (ACCNFs) exhibited uniform and long filament-like structures with shorter whisker-like nanocrystals.

Smart textiles provide a significant technological advancement, but their development must balance traditional textile properties with electronic features. To address this challenge, this study introduces a flexible, electrically conductive composite material that can be fabricated using a continuous bi-component extrusion process, making it ideal for sensor electrodes. The primary aim was to create a composite for the filament's core, combining multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), polypropylene (PP), and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), optimised for conductivity and flexibility.

Biological surfaces with physical discontinuity or chemical heterogeneity possess special wettability in the form of anisotropic wetting behavior. However, there are several challenges in designing and manufacturing samples with anisotropic wettability. This study investigates the fabrication of PTFE/PDMS grid membranes using Direct Ink Writing (DIW) 3D printing for oil-water separation applications.
