Direct ink writing of lightweight 3D structures from alkali-activated waste fiberglass and glass microsphere fillers

This study explores the upcycling of glass waste into sustainable materials using additive manufacturing. The direct ink writing technique was used to 3D print structures from waste fiberglass activated with 3 M or 5 M NaOH. All inks showed shear-thinning behavior after 3 h of mixing, ensuring good...
