Structural Cellulose
摘要
The paper presents a novel design to fabrication strategy that deploys inherent structural properties of bio-composites based on a cellulose-casein mixture. The design and fabrication pipeline involves multiple iterations of robotic spraying including feedback operations based on iterative 3D scanning. This allows to adjust the geometry, to regulate material distribution, and to modify the path generation regarding the spraying with the industrial robot. It also enables vision-based monitoring or repair measurements and allows to observe failure or cracks in relation to the hidden material structure. Several studies are discussed in detail that deployed the “adaptive” robotic spraying method of cellulose-based mixtures on two distinct textile substructures: a winded rope structure and fabric tubes. The mechanical properties of the sprayed cellulose-casein composite material are predicted, based on multiscale micromechanical modelling.
