Influence of internal printing pattern and infill on morphological and dimensional properties of gluten-free bread manufactured by 3D printing by Carmen Molina-Montero, Adrian Matas, Marta Igual, Javier Martínez-Monzó, Purificación García-Segovia

“…The rectilinear pattern exhibited higher dimensional stability during printing, while the concentric pattern showed higher moisture losses and, consequently lower dimensional deformations during baking., Analysis of the crumb structure revealed that the concentric pattern produced higher total porosity than the rectilinear pattern, with a more irregular pore distribution. Color differences were more pronounced in samples with 60 % infill, particularly in the rectilinear pattern. …”

Regulation of early accelerated carbonation behavior in nano-modified cementitious materials under low concentration CO2 by Xu Chen, Shaochun Li, Mengjun Hu, Shiyu Sui, Yongjuan Geng, Ling Jin, Shuchang Zhang, Qiangqiang Ma, Shijie Han

“…In addition, nanoparticles promoted cement hydration, increased the degree of polymerization of C–S–H gels, and effectively inhibited their decalcification, thereby improving the pore structure of the matrix. Notably, the NS modified group exhibited the lowest total porosity and average pore size across all carbonation stages, with the proportion of large pores (>200 nm) reduced by approximately 69 % compared to the control. …”
