A method of manufacturing a toy using a model frame in liquid includes: filling a water tank; dissolving calcium chloride, a powder component, into the water filled in the water tank; wherein the amount of calcium chloride is determined in anticipation of the degree of gelation by chemical action with sodium alginate, filling a liquid paint to the model frame; wherein the liquid paint is comprised water 96 wt. %, CNC 0.99 wt. %, sodium alginate 3 wt. %, luminous material 0.01 wt. % or water 91 wt. %, CNC 1 wt. %, sodium alginate 3 wt. %, shiny material 5 wt. % or water 96 wt. %, CNC 0.99 wt. %, sodium alginate 3 wt. %, color conversion material 0.01 wt. %; immersing the model frame filled with the liquid paint in the water tank; solidifying and shrinking the liquid paint filled in the model frame immersed in the water tank; and shaking the model frame.

The invention relates to a composite material comprising cellulose. The composite material comprises a first cellulose-based material, which may be a textile or fabric, and a second cellulose-based material, which may be a film or cellulose based material or powdered cellulose-based material. The second cellulose-based material may be a sheet material comprising cellulose, such as a paper or a regenerated cellulose film. In embodiments the material is a so called “all cellulose composite” where both of the materials that are brought together are different forms of material comprising or being cellulose. For example, the different materials originate from cellulose-based feedstocks. The invention also relates to a process for preparing the composite materials of the invention utilising ionic liquids.

A product and a method of manufacture and assembly of a prefabricated wall panel for construction is shown and described. The present invention is directed towards minimizing the labor of multiple additive steps using many layers and materials seen in many building envelopes.

In one example, the method comprises,

A series of prefabricated residential or commercial building panels made of any of varying materials such as hemperete, fiber, cellulose, plant material, bio-aggregate, aggregate, aerated concrete, composite or inorganic materials, of substantially solid body with channel shaped elongated voids substantially located at the vertical sides as well as horizontally across their top.

Said voids in one panel are a connected channel wrapping around 3 or more sides of the panel and exposed to the exterior of said panel. Said panels are placed side by side around the perimeter of a foundation aligning the channel shaped void in one panel with the respective channel shaped void in the panel beside it creating a concrete form, or form for a load bearing material. Said panels are left in place as an integral part of the wall system. Concrete or other load bearing material is placed in said voids substantially vertically between the panels and across their tops creating an air seal and a mechanical bond between panels. The resulting concrete shape inside the wall is a post and beam structure that is substantially equidistant from the interior and exterior of the wall minimizing heat transfer through thermal bridging and minimizing weathering to the concrete. Many of the requirements of a building's wall such as the insulation, the shear strength, the rough openings for windows and doors, the interior and exterior skin, utility chases, drip edges and trim details can be met by this series of prefabricated building blocks. A method of manufacture of the building panels, the product created by that manufacture, a method of panel assembly and integration with other building components, and the finished product created by the manufacture, assembly and integration with other building components are all shown in the present disclosure.

In one aspect, waxy build material inks are described herein which, in some embodiments, exhibit desirable print quality and associated mechanical properties for three-dimensional printing applications. A build material ink, in some embodiments, comprises 20-40 wt. % rosin component, 5-35 wt. % non-polar wax component, and 40-65 wt. % alcohol wax component comprising one or more waxes of the formula (C.sub.nH.sub.2n+1)OH wherein n is an integer from 15 to 40. In another aspect, a build material ink comprises a eutectic mixture including rosin component, a non-polar wax component, and an alcohol wax component comprising one or more waxes of the formula (C.sub.nH.sub.2n+1)OH wherein n is an integer from 15 to 40.

The invention relates to a biomaterial and/or a biocomposite based on sunflower seed shells/husks. According to the invention, it is proposed that sunflower seed shells/husks are used instead of wood, bamboo or other wood-like fiber products as the original material for the biocomposite products and are used for the production of such products in order to improve the previous biomaterials, and in particular also to design said materials for improved cost efficiency and to improve their material properties.

A fully formed, freestanding, curvilinear geometric shaped, hashish cigarette product. A method of making the product consisting, substantially of hashish, the method comprising applying pressure to a collection of kief via a press for a period of time sufficient to form a pliable sheet of hashish having a thickness of 0.5 to 1 mm, cutting or trimming the pliable sheet into a substantially rectangular section, rolling the section of pliable sheet around an object having a curvilinear geometric shape at least one full rotation, and separating the rolled section of pliable sheet from the object, leaving only the fully formed, freestanding, curvilinear geometric shaped, hashish cigarette product.

A polymeric material comprising a first polymer and a second polymer where the first polymer is a natural or a synthetic polymer and the second polymer is modified lignin. The modified lignin is modified with an alkyl containing group via linker wherein the linker is an ether group and wherein the alkyl containing group is derived from fatty acid methyl ester.

A composition for use as a binder system for road marking formulations and methods for making thereof is disclosed. The binder system is provided as pellets. The method provides for making the pelletized binder system, and mixing the pelletized binder system with fillers and other components, heating the mixed ingredients forming into a molten mixture for applying on a road surface. The pelletized binder system comprises at least a resin and an elastomer in one embodiment; at least a resin and a plasticizer in a second embodiment; and at least a resin, an elastomer, and a plasticizer in a third embodiment.

The buffing dust waste/polystyrene thermal insulator is a polymer composite containing 0.1%-25% by weight buffing dust waste from a leather tannery, the balance being polystyrene. The composite has extremely low thermal conductivity (e.g., 0.0447 W/m-K for a composite 10% budding dust by weight), making it a good insulator, while still having relatively high mechanical properties. The thermal insulator is made by mixing the buffing dust with the polystyrene polymer in a twin-screw extruder and pouring the mixture into a steel mold. The mold is heated and compressed in a hot press machine, e.g., at 500 kg force at 180 C. for 20 minutes, which may be followed by 500 kg force at 125 C. for an additional 20 minutes. The resulting composite polymer is suitable for use as thermal insulation in buildings.
