3D-printing has the potential to transform science and
technology creating bespoke, low-cost appliances which have
previously required dedicated facilities. An attractive but
unexplored application is using the 3D-printer to initiate chemical
reactions by printing the reagents directly into the
3D-reactionware matrix, putting reactionware design,
construction and operation under digital control. In this
contribution, we desecribe how by using a low-cost 3D-printer
and open-source design software, we produced reactionware for
organic and inorganic synthesis, including printed-in catalysts,
and other architectures with printed-in components for
electrochemical and spectroscopic analysis. This allowed
reactions to be monitored in situ so that different reactionware
architectures could be screened for their efficacy for a given
process, giving a digital feed-back mechanism for device
optimisation. Furthermore, by solely modifying reactionware
architecture, reaction outcomes could be drastically altered. Taken
together, this approach constitutes a cheap, automated and
reconfigurable chemical discovery platform that makes techniques
from chemical engineering accessible to typical synthetic
laboratories. [1] It is even conceivable that this approach could be
used to undertake complex reactions and allow the reliable access
to chemistry beyond the laboratory created in the ‘reactionware’
environment and the prospects for this will be discussed.

In borate glasses, the main structural units are the [BO ] 3
triangles and [BO ] tetradral which form different superstructural
4
units like; boroxol rings, metaborate rings and chains, pentaborate,
diborate, triborate and pyroborate. In this work, the Barium
aluminoborate glasses were prepared. Some of properties were
investigated by measure like density and chemical durability and
the other by calculs. The dilatometric curves were determined and
they revealed that the temperature of transition (Tg) and softening
(Ts) and the dilatation coefficient increase by addition of Al O 2 3
and BaO content.
