Citric Acid–Urea Modification of Dual-Plasticized Starch Adhesives for Medium-Density Fiberboard Manufacturing ↗
Formaldehyde-free starch adhesives offer a renewable alternative to conventional binders used in medium-density fiberboard (MDF), but their application remains limited by poor moisture resistance and insufficient mechanical performance. The aim of this research work was to investigate and evaluate the combined effects of sorbitol and glycerol plasticizers, citric acid modification, and urea addition on the properties of starch-based adhesives and the resulting MDF panels. Five adhesive formulations were prepared and characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and differe…

Manufacturing process effects on multiaxial mechanical behavior and anisotropy evolution of fiber-reinforced polymer composites for automotive applications ↗
Processing-induced variations play a crucial role in defining the mechanical anisotropy and structural efficiency of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. This study investigates the multiaxial mechanical behavior and anisotropy of unidirectional carbon (CFRP), glass (GFRP), and basalt (BFRP) epoxy composites fabricated using two controlled processing techniques: hand lay-up (HLU) and vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM). Process-based density, fiber volume fraction, and void content are quantitatively correlated with tensile, compression, in-plane shear, flexural, and interlami…

Low-Cost Solid Electrolytes for All-Solid-State Batteries: Material Design, Scalable Manufacturing, and Perspectives on Commercialization ↗
Commercial deployment of all-solid-state batteries depends on scalable, economically viable production of solid electrolytes. Although ASSBs offer improved safety, thermal stability, and energy density, the high cost of solid electrolytes remains a major barrier to large-scale deployment. This mini-review evaluates sulfide, oxide, polymer, and halide electrolytes through a cost-focused lens, linking material selection with synthesis conditions, energy demand, manufacturing complexity, and scalability. We examine recent industrial developments and commercialization efforts to highlight the gap…

FJSP-E2E: A process-verified framework for automatic scheduling-model reconfiguration in smart manufacturing ↗
In smart manufacturing systems, scheduling models must be continuously reconfigured in response to machine failures, process changes, worker availability, tool constraints, AGV logistics, maintenance windows, and quality risks. Large language models (LLMs) provide a natural-language interface for translating shop-floor updates into executable scheduling models, but final objective-value checking is insufficient: an LLM may omit tool, worker, transport, or calendar constraints while still obtaining an accidentally correct makespan on a particular instance. This paper proposes FJSP-E2E, a proces…

Under the Microscope: NASA-Made Material for Moon Manufacturing ↗
Credit: NASA Credit: NASA Photos taken using a microscope reveal the colorful, kaleidoscope-like crystal structure of a new NASA-made material that could be used for manufacturing during future space missions. Developed at NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, the material could be created directly on the Moon or Mars, allowing NASA to pack fewer supplies — saving weight and reducing launch costs. To make the material, research chemical engineer Allison Christy and her team of summer interns at NASA Glenn — Tyler Klinchuch, Ethan Bilodeau, and Emma Levenson — mixed a special plastic with…

A comprehensive review of materials and process parameters in Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM): Current insights and future directions ↗
Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) has emerged as a transformative metal additive manufacturing technology, capable of fabricating large-scale, geometrically complex metallic components at high deposition rates and relatively low cost. This article presents a systematic and critical review of recent WAAM research, covering five principal material systems, alloy steels, stainless steels, aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, and nickel-based superalloys, alongside a comparative analysis of key process variants including Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), Plasma Arc W…

Geometry-aware deep reinforcement learning for real-time integrated scheduling and nesting in additive manufacturing ↗
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a promising technology for small-volume and customized production. However, the diversity of parts, coupled with batch scheduling and geometric constraints on heterogeneous machines, poses significant challenges for production planning. Unlike most existing studies on AM scheduling that underestimate geometric features, this paper investigates a real-time integrated scheduling and nesting problem with dynamic batch processing and geometric feasibility to minimize the overall makespan across heterogeneous AM machines. We propose GeoPPO, a geometry-aware deep reinf…

3D- and 4D-Printed Nano-Enabled Soft Robots for Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy: Materials, Manufacturing, Image Guidance, and Translational Validation ↗
Three-dimensional (3D) and four-dimensional (4D) printing expand the design space for nano-enabled soft robots intended for cancer diagnosis and therapy. This structured narrative review separates three evidence classes: core systems satisfying all scope criteria, adjacent technologies satisfying only part of the definition, and enabling technologies not yet integrated as oncology soft robots. The revised evidence set contains 12 core reports, 7 adjacent comparators and 68 enabling methods, standards or background reports. Study-level analysis using independent manufacturing, biological, workf…

Systematic power decarbonization strategies for sustainable steel manufacturing: an integrated modeling framework combining process regulation and technology integration ↗
Achieving an economically feasible low-carbon transition is critical for the steel industry. Electricity serves as a central energy carrier in steel manufacturing, making power decarbonization important to the low-carbon development of this sector. However, existing studies often underrepresent the system-wide propagation effects arising from the coupling between production and power systems, which can bias estimates of decarbonization benefits and associated trade-offs. This study develops an integrated modeling framework to quantify the emission and economic contributions of electricity and…

Additive Manufacturing as a Design Enabler for Air-Breathing Electrochemical Devices: A PEM Fuel Cell Case Study ↗
Portable air-breathing electrochemical devices, particularly polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), offer simple, lightweight, and compact power generation by using atmospheric oxygen as the oxidant. Their performance, however, depends strongly on cathode plate geometry that governs reactant transport, thermal and water management, and mechanical integrity. Conventional manufacturing has historically restricted this architectural design space. This perspective examines how additive manufacturing (AM) enables three-dimensional geometries that can overcome these constraints. An open c…

How to assess evidence about Manufacturing
Check each original source for its methods, release status, limitations, and supporting data. A repository announcement, a preprint, and a published study provide different kinds of evidence. SYMTRI’s subject classification helps discovery; it does not independently validate the source’s claims.
