Both 2D and 3D supracrystals are theoretical materials that have yet to be synthesized. Despite this, scientists are working hard on the computational front to see what structures 2D supracrystals could form, what materials can be used, their potential properties and what applications they could be.

The relationship between 3D printing and heat treatment is equally beneficial, as the heat treatment of 3D printed projects has been shown to dramatically increase the strength and stiffness of certain 3D printed parts, whereas the 3D printing of heat treatment parts can be advantageous in the manufacturing process and subsequent properties of the 3D printed parts.

Organic rheology modifiers come in many shapes and sizes. They are used throughout various industries, from cosmetics to paints and beyond, to change many properties of a formulation-based product. The addition of these modifiers can bring various benefits depending on the product and the modifier. In this article, we look at the properties of some of the most common organic rheology modifiers.

Fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP), also known as fiber-reinforced polymers, are a category of composite plastics specifically using fiber materials to mechanically augment the elasticity and strength of the plastic. They consist of a polymer matrix – the original plastic which is usually tough but weak – which is blended with a reinforcing material to yield a final product with the desired material or mechanical properties.

Ordered arrangement under appropriate conditions is a fundamental property of many systems, of which nanocrystals are only one example. A nanocrystal consists of an arrangement of atoms in a high degree of order, and when nanocrystals themselves take up a highly ordered arrangement a supracrystal is formed.
