    摘要: The present invention relates to a process for the manufacturing of a cement substitute, the process comprising the following steps: a) mixing an alkaline aluminosilicate containing material with at least one aluminosilicate hydrate containing material, b) heating the thus obtained mixture to a calcination temperature of below 800°C thereby forming a calcined product comprising a reactive amorphous phase having the alkali ions bound therein. The process may further comprise a step of cooling the calcined product to a desired temperature. The present invention also relates to a cement substitute obtainable by the process according to the present invention. The cement substitute comprises a reactive amorphous phase of co-calcined alkali aluminosilicate containing material and aluminosilicate hydrate, containing material having alkali ions bound therein. The alkaliions are preferably sodium ions. The present invention also relates to a cement composition containing the cement substitute according to the invention and to a mortar or concrete composition containing such a cement composition.

    摘要: A method and system for performing characterization of one or more materials. The one or more materials are scanned by means of a sensory unit including an x-ray sensor for obtaining at least one x-ray image. Segmentation of the at least one x-ray image is performed in order to separate one or more distinct objects in the at least one x-ray image. In the at least one x-ray image, segmented objects are selected. For each of the selected segmented objects in the at least one x-ray image, a transformation using a transformation model is computed, wherein each transformation is indicative of a three dimensional reconstruction of the respective selected segmented object in the at least one x-ray image. The selected segmented objects are characterized based upon its computed transformation.

    摘要: A system (1) for manufacturing a three-dimensional structure comprising interconnected filaments (13) comprises a support, a deposition unit (5) and a controller configured to operate during a printing operation at least one nozzle (7) of the deposition unit for deposition of filaments on the support in a predetermined interconnected arrangement in a plurality of stacked layers. A sensor unit (23) is provided which is configured to monitor, at least during the printing operation, sensory data indicative of an actuation for performing deposition or sensory data indicative of at least one flow parameter of the build material. A trained machine learning model is provided which is configured to receive the sensory data as input, and to provide an output relating to control of at least one deposition control parameter for maintaining a predetermined deposition flow rate during the printing operation, and wherein the controller is configured to adjust, based on the output of the trained machine learning model, the at least one deposition control parameter during the printing operation. At least one sensor (23) of the sensor unit is arranged to monitor the sensory data at at least one location upstream of the nozzle opening area.

    摘要: In general the present invention relates to thermoplastic polyurethanes containing lignin-derived monomers, lignin model compounds or the products of their respective functionalization in their structure. More specifically, this process relates to the use of 4-hydroxylalkylphenols and their derivatives as lignin-derived monomers or lignin model compounds. These can act either as chain extenders or be part of the polyol. The thermoplastic polyurethanes can be partially or fully bio-based. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for preparing these thermoplastic polyurethanes and to their use.

    摘要: A method and system for manufacturing three-dimensional porous structures. Filaments are deposited in a predetermined interconnected arrangement in a plurality of stacked layers for forming a porous structure with interconnected pores. Furthermore, the porous structure is subjected to a heat treatment in a heat chamber in order to reduce a moisture, solvent and/or organic material, solvent or organic material content (drying and/or calcination) of the porous structure by irradiating microwave energy through said porous structure. The applied microwave energy is selected based on the structural interconnected arrangement of the deposited filaments defining the shape and size of the pores of the three-dimensional porous structure.
