When I first started this module, I was unsure of how this module would be like. I started the course expecting it to be one of those modules without much impact. However, with more lessons, I feel that I have managed to tackle upon my weaknesses that I have expressed concern in my introduction. ForContinue reading “Final blog post.”

Recycling and remanufacturing of 3D printed continuous carbon fiber reinforced PLA composites. Journal of Cleaner Production, 142, 1609–1618. doi: 10.1016/j.jclepro.2016.11.139 In this article, it primarily focuses on a more environmentally-friendly production of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites, by the “recycling and re-manufacturing ofContinue reading “Annotated Summary final”

In the article, “Seabin using plastic to fight plastic”, Seabin Project states that micro plastics and micro fibers threaten marine ecosystems as they accumulate pollutants rapidly and animals could mistake them as food. The threat is so severe that the UN has called for action. The Seabin Project (2019) uses Seabin technology, which is designedContinue reading “Design Summary Analysis”

Seabins are designed to catch surrounding debris, including microplastics and microfibers through adaptations to the filter. the Seabin was able to remove substantial amounts of microplastics found in water, and preventing them from creating more microplastics in the water. The study also shows that Seabins could be effectively used to monitor the concentration of microplasticsContinue reading “Summary draft 2”

In the article, “Seabin using plastic to fight plastic”, Seabin Project states that micro plastics and micro fibers threaten marine ecosystems as they accumulate pollutants rapidly and animals could mistake them as food. Measuring less than 5mm in diameter, they are similar in size as prey for marine organisms and might end up in theContinue reading “Summary Draft 1 – Seabins”

Dear Prof Blackstone, I am writing this to further introduce myself given that our interaction in class is limited. My name is Pang Yong Xun, and I am currently a year 1 engineering student attending your effective communication module. Before deciding to pursue further studies in a Bachelor in Mechanical Engineering, I was a graduateContinue reading “Self-Introduction”
