“…It has potentials to become a future building material for lightweight applications thanks to its low cost and high recycle paper content. [7] Papercrete is mainly made from recycled paper that is combined usually with sand and Portland cement [8] creating a composite material that is malleable and can be casted and molded in various forms and shapes. Papercrete can be casted and pressed into bricks, blocks and panels and can be used in the building industry for a variety of applications [7].…”

Abstract:This study presents an experimental approach for the use of Papercrete for construction. Green materials are now the preferred material for construction since they are capable of lighter weight and affordable. Based on recent studies, alternative building materials are cost effective, light weight when dry, and efficient to use. This study started from referring different literatures concerning the topic and related ideas up to conceptualization and design of the trial ratio to be used in testing.

Embedded intelligence is radically changing the way designers conceptualize and develop technological artifacts. The use of smart materials to design products are uncovering new ways to interact with users so as to engage, entertain and inform them, coding new languages of communication. This study investigates how Smart Materials could support the monitoring of the user's health condition in rehabilitation situations through an embedded input/output system, and how the occurring feedback could be perceived as unobtrusive, easy to understand and motivating. In this study, Flexers, an interactive finger splint is presented which includes adaptive and sensitive materials as a vehicle to achieve an intuitive interaction that promisingly shapes the occurring product experience with renewed engagement of the user. The results suggest that the use of smart materials combined with light based feedback could be used as a motivating tool for engaging the user in the rehabilitation activity.

“…Ha sido necesario en los últimos trece años, el surgimiento de otras miradas, acercamientos y metodologías de enseñanza que han facilitado que los estudiantes de diseño y de ingeniería aplicada se acerquen a un tema tan importante para sus disciplinas de una manera más holística e integral. De esta manera se puede entender cómo los materiales afectan nuestro entorno y nuestra sociedad y cómo de su correcta aplicación y desarrollo se establecerán las bases para las generaciones futuras (Peters, 2011).…”

Mediante la implementación de métodos creativos y de selección de materiales, apoyo bibliográfico actualizado y bases de datos de primer nivel, se presentan en este artículo dos aproximaciones académicas de dos Universidades Colombianas para la enseñanza de los materiales y procesos de manufactura para el diseño de productos, en las áreas de Diseño Industrial e Ingeniería de Diseño de Producto. A partir de varias estrategias, se le permite al estudiante experimentar y comprender perceptivamente los diferentes atributos y propiedades de un material y sus posibles procesos de transformación, construyendo un conocimiento colectivo que en el mediano plazo le posibilite innovar en el diseño de los productos a través de los materiales.
