ABSTRACT
3D printing technology has recently been highlighted as an innovative manufacturing process. Among various 3D printing methods, binder jetting (BJ) 3D printing is particularly known as technology used to produce the complex sand mold quickly for a casting process. However, high manufacturing costs, due to its expensive materials, need to be lowered for more industrial applications of 3D printing. In this study, we investigated mechanical properties of sand molds with a lightweight structure for low material consumption and short process time. Our stress analysis using a computational approach, revealed a structural weak point in the mesh-type lightweight design applied to the 3D-printed ceramic/polymer composite.
ABSTRACT
Graphene has many excellent properties such as wide specific surface area, outstanding electrical mobility, and high optical transmittance. Due to these advantages, which make graphene appropriate matrix supporting vanadium for the nanocomposite. Also, depending on the synthesis process, graphene can be obtainable graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO). Moreover, RGO has been receiving increased attention due to its nature to easily reduced to graphene, referred to as RGO, which has wide application. The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristic of V2O5 deposited on RGO. The nanocomposite of vanadium oxide (V2O5) supported on RGO was prepared by different methods of evaporation, impregnation and impregnation with dispersant. XRD, SEM, TEM, BET and TGA analyses were used to investigate their chemical stability, and amount in vanadium oxide on RGO. This synthesis of V2O5 supported RGO is expected to be used as selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst for De-NOx.
