Microplastic response of 2PP‐printed ceramics
Not relevant to microplastics — this study investigates the mechanical behavior of ceramic materials made by two-photon polymerization 3D printing; the term 'microplastic response' here refers to microscale plastic deformation in ceramics, not environmental microplastic particles.
Hydrothermal zeolitization: Towards a paradigm shift for producing stronger and more sustainable construction materials
Researchers combined a water-based mineral hardening process (zeolitization) with kaolin ceramics fired at lower-than-usual temperatures, using microplastic waste as pore-forming additives, and found this method increased mechanical strength up to 37-fold compared to untreated materials.
