Hello all,

I am developing a study of a new material and I came across the problem that seems to have no solution ...

The material that I am developing is an aqueous suspension with small particles of paper ... let us consider for example the effect of pulp ...

What I wanted was to find a way to get "shed" the material into a mold and some system or method (high pressure, vacuum, or whatever it is) able to remove all excess water and compact the material ...

Look at what happens when we have a bit of pulp (just an example of having a bit of toilet paper soaked in water) in hand and shook his hand ...happens that eliminated almost all the water and the paper is compacted ... want to do this but even within a mold that has to be rigid to maintain the desired shape at the end ..

I hope someone could help me in this!

Thanks,
Lcfigueiredo
