Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a prominent technology across various industrial sectors, and its increasing popularity urgently calls for sustainable 3D printing materials. However, the availability of such materials remains under exploit. Here, we present a low-cost strategy to harnesses waste papers as a feedstock to develop sustainable 3D printing inks. This approach offers a remarkable printability and circular utilisation of biodegradable paper wastes to produce 3D printed constructs, with desired mechanical properties and shape stability for high temperature applications. Our constructs can be efficiently recycled into inks for reprinting, and our method can be applied to various types of waste papers. By employing multi-material printing, our approach can be extended to produce multi-coloured constructs, security information printings, and mechanically appealing designs. This strategy offers an innovative and sustainable solution that addresses the need for repurposing paper wastes, which would otherwise end up in landfills, while concurrently reducing the reliance on virgin plastics for 3D printing.

废纸功能材料和结构的可持续三维打印

三维（3D）打印是一项横跨各个工业领域的重要技术，它的日益普及迫切需要可持续的 3D 打印材料。然而，此类材料的可用性仍有待开发。在此，我们提出了一种低成本策略，利用废纸作为原料来开发可持续三维打印油墨。这种方法具有出色的可打印性，并可循环利用可生物降解的废纸来生产三维打印结构体，这些结构体具有高温应用所需的机械性能和形状稳定性。我们的结构可以有效地回收到油墨中进行再打印，而且我们的方法可以应用于各种类型的废纸。通过采用多材料印刷，我们的方法可以扩展到生产多色结构、安全信息印刷和具有机械吸引力的设计。这一策略提供了一种创新和可持续的解决方案，满足了对废纸再利用的需求，否则这些废纸将被填埋，同时还能减少三维打印对原始塑料的依赖。

期刊介绍： Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials is a leading international journal that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration among materials scientists, engineers, chemists, biologists, and physicists working on composites, including nanocomposites. Our aim is to facilitate rapid scientific communication in this field. The journal publishes high-quality research on various aspects of composite materials, including materials design, surface and interface science/engineering, manufacturing, structure control, property design, device fabrication, and other applications. We also welcome simulation and modeling studies that are relevant to composites. Additionally, papers focusing on the relationship between fillers and the matrix are of particular interest. Our scope includes polymer, metal, and ceramic matrices, with a special emphasis on reviews and meta-analyses related to materials selection. We cover a wide range of topics, including transport properties, strategies for controlling interfaces and composition distribution, bottom-up assembly of nanocomposites, highly porous and high-density composites, electronic structure design, materials synergisms, and thermoelectric materials. Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials follows a rigorous single-blind peer-review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the published work.
