Analysis of the Effect of Glass-Powder on the Printability of Cement-Based Materials for 3D Printing Using ImageJ (2023-09)¶

This paper explores the influence of glass powder on the 3D printing characteristics of cement-based materials, aiming to find potential applications for the substantial waste glass generated daily. The experimental results indicate that as the substitution rate of glass powder increases, the setting time of cement-based materials prolongs. Additionally, the initial increase and subsequent decrease of the longitudinal difference system, as well as the gradual reduction in cumulative hydration heat of cementitious materials, are observed. Notably, a substitution rate of 5% yields improved compressive strength in mortar. By combining glass powder with 3D printing, enhanced economic and environmental advantages can be achieved.
