Decoding and Optimizing Magnesium Phosphate Binders for Additive Construction Applications

This work aims to give more insight about the physical, mechanical, thermal, and chemical performance of the MPC paste composites. Our primary outcome from this research is to improve the MPC composites with different additives, including boric acid, GnP, and acetic acid for potential utilization in 3DcP applications. Furthermore, Martian and Lunar regolith simulants can be mixed with the MPC composites to create mortars as a possible extraterrestrial 3DP <em>in-situ</em> construction material mainly to support the NASA habitation exploration mission.
