Optimally‐Tailored Spinodal Architected Materials for Multiscale Design and Manufacturing (Adv. Mater. 26/2022)

3D manufacturing of micro and nano- architected materials

Reducing mass without sacrificing mechanical integrity and performance is a critical goal in a vast range of applications. Introducing a controlled amount of porosity in a strong and dense material (hence fabricating a cellular solid) is an obvious avenue to weight reduction. The mechanical effectiveness of this strategy, though, depends strongly on the architecture of the resulting cellular ma...

Multiscale Design of Materials

Current methods of materials development, relying mostly on experimental tests, are slow and expensive, often taking over a decade and costing many millions of dollars to develop and certify new materials for critical applications. Finding new approaches for materials development is essential. Moreover, it will be increasingly important for materials development to be integrated into overall pr...

Architected squirt-flow materials for energy dissipation

In the present study we explore material architectures that lead to enhanced dissipation properties by taking advantage of squirt-flow a local flow mechanism triggered by heterogeneities at the pore level. While squirt-flow is a known dominant source of dissipation and seismic attenuation in fluid saturated geological materials, we study its untapped potential to be incorporated in highly defor...

Classifications and Properties of Materials for Chairside Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing Dentistry: A Review

Background and Aim: Chairside computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems have become considerably more accurate, reliable, efficient, fast, and prevalent since 1985 when CEREC was introduced. The inceptive restorative material option for chairside CAD/CAM restorations was limited to ceramic blocks. Today, restorative material options have been multiplied and include me...
