Papercrete is a construction material which consists of re-pulped paper fiber with Portland cement or clay and/or other soil added.
First patented in 1928, it was revived during the 1980s. Although perceived as an environmentally friendly material due to the significant recycled content, this is offset by the presence of cement. The material lacks standardisation, and proper use therefore requires care and experience. Eric Patterson and Mike McCain, who have been credited with independently "inventing" papercrete (they called it "padobe" and "fibrous cement"), have both contributed considerably to research into machinery to make it and ways of using it for building. [citation needed] Manufacture[edit] The paper to be used can come from a variety of sources. A typical homemade mixer uses a small electric motor mounted directly on a shaft with two four-inch square blades attached, resembling milk shake maker. Paperpulp may be added to clay soils where sand is not available.
Mr. Hair Glasses. Laboratories : HRL Researchers Develop World’s Lightest Material. MALIBU, Calif., November 17, 2011 — Researchers at HRL Laboratories, LLC, announced today they have developed the world’s lightest material with a density of 0.9 mg/cc, approximately one hundred times lighter than Styrofoam™.
The results of their research―a collaborative effort between HRL, The California Institute of Technology and the University of California, Irvine―are published in the November 18 issue of Science. Read the Science article. This new material redefines the limits of lightweight materials because of its unique “microlattice” cellular architecture. Using an innovative fabrication process developed by HRL senior scientist Dr. Alan Jacobsen, the team was able to make a material that consists of 99.99% open volume by designing the 0.01% solid at the nanometer, micron and millimeter scales.

NSEPS by Silo. Show RCA 2011: Royal College of Art graduates Attua Aparicio and Oscar Wanless have invented a new manufacturing process that involves steaming polystyrene beads inside fabric moulds.
They used the process, called NSEPS (Not So Expanded Polystyrene), to create this range of furniture with sausage-like legs. Steaming causes the beads to melt, expand and fuse together, distorting their moulds to create writhing muscular shapes. The designers created a geometric pattern in the table top by fusing different coloured beads and slicing the resulting material to reveal its layers. Attua Aparicio and Oscar Wanless work together under the name Silo. La fabuleuse histoire de l'aluminium (1/2) - Techniques de lIngénieur.

La semaine dernière, je vous ai présenté la petite histoire de ce « jeune métal » qui n’a été isolé à l’état pur qu’au milieu du XIXe siècle. Cette semaine, avant de vous parler des aspects plus controversés des propriétés de ce métal, je voudrais mentionner que l’aluminium, derrière la silicone et l’oxygène, est le troisième élément en abondance de la croûte terrestre. Ce qui explique sa présence dans une myriade de composés chimiques familiers. A New Canadian Wood Product Does More With Less. Posted by Kara Pecknold | 11 May 2011 | Comments (0) We've often heard the old adage that there is strength in numbers.
But in the case of a new wood product from Canada, we've discovered that less really is more. Corelam™ is a unique wood product that uses less material to deliver equal (or greater) strength than typical plywood products of the same dimensions. The added stability comes from corrugation, which has been used for over a hundred years with metal and plastic, but has yet to be successfully applied to wood. Until now. Its undulating form is the result of research and development by Christian Blyt, a Canadian industrial designer and professor at Vancouver's Emily Carr University of Art + Design. Jump ahead fifteen years and this award-winning product now allows for a range of possibilities from sound walls to ceiling systems and is available as an FSC product, which when used provides an asset in the LEED™ certification process.

Etched Floor Decor: 5 Engineered Wood Flooring Patterns. Some prefer the raw texture of hand-scraped hardwood floors, while others want the modern look (and low costs) of laminate wood flooring.
These patterned wooden planks provide artistic relief somewhere in between – an honest contemporary take on classic material and installation approaches. This decorative flooring series from Mafi provides a fresh take on manufactured floors, etching designs that range from abstract floral patterns to playfully embossed stick figures. The pre-engraved slats are shallow enough not to collect dirt and dust (at least in theory), but deep enough to be felt underfoot by socked or bare feet – each features a darker ‘burned’ look or a consistent surface treatment where variation is seen only by reflection, light and shadow.
The problems with solid wood are many – cupping and warping due to winter cooling and summer warming, for starters, plus a natural limitation on width if one is trying to finish a project on the cheap. Materials. Le Solid Surface de dernière génération - HI-MACS® Concrete Canvas, le matériau au service des causes humanitaires. Destinés aux secteurs militaires, médicaux, de l’aménagement civil ou tout autre situation d’urgence et humanitaire, ce nouveau matériau « Concrete canvas » fabriqué à partir de toile et de béton se transforme en moins d’une heure en une structure (de 25 ou 54 mètres carrés) pouvant accueillir quelques lits d’appoint et tables.
Mis au point par deux jeunes diplomés de la RCA, Peter Brewin et William Crawford, cet espace éphémère est également résistant aux plus fortes températures, au feu et à l’eau.
