DELIVERABLE 3.1: ‘Report on manufacturing and mechanical characterization of highly porous bodies’ Glass and mixtures of glass and ‘active’ supplementary residues, studied during WP1, were considered for foaming and printing experiments, by engineering of gelation conditions, according to rheological studies. At UniPD (Università degli Studi di Padova), alongside traditional direct foaming methods, where porosity is…
