Reversibly assembled cellular composite materials.

چکیده
We introduce composite materials made by reversibly assembling a three-dimensional lattice of mass-produced carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composite parts with integrated mechanical interlocking connections. The resulting cellular composite materials can respond as an elastic solid with an extremely large measured modulus for an ultralight material (12.3 megapascals at a density of 7.2 milligrams per cubic centimeter). These materials offer a hierarchical decomposition in modeling, with bulk properties that can be predicted from component measurements and deformation modes that can be determined by the placement of part types. Because site locations are locally constrained, structures can be produced in a relative assembly process that merges desirable features of fiber composites, cellular materials, and additive manufacturing.

Reversibly-assebmled Perfusion Culture Chip with Microwell Array for Controllable Spheroid Culture and Post-culture Analysis
This paper reports a microfluidic device composed of a reversibly-assembled microfluidic chamber chip and multi-microwell array chip. This device enabled perfusion culture of spheroid in a microarray format, and detailed post-culture analysis by collection of spheroids from the disassembled device. The device provides four advantages simultaneously; the uniform spheroid formation, growth analys...
متن کاملChemical doping of individual semiconducting carbon-nanotube ropes
We report the effects of potassium doping on the conductance of individual semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotube ropes. We are able to control the level of doping by reversibly intercalating and deintercalating potassium. Potassium doping changes the carriers in the ropes from holes to electrons. Typical values for the carrier density are found to be ;100–1000 electrons/mm. The effective...

The design and development of multifunctional composite materials from artificial nano-constituents is one of the most compelling current research areas. This drive to improve over nature and produce 'meta-materials' has met with some success, but results have proven limited with regards to both the demonstration of synergistic functionalities and in the ability to manipulate the material prope...
متن کاملSoft-matter composites with electrically tunable elastic rigidity
We use a phase-changing metal alloy to reversibly tune the elastic rigidity of an elastomer composite. The elastomer is embedded with a sheet of low-melting-point Field’s metal and an electric Joule heater composed of a serpentine channel of liquid-phase gallium–indium–tin (Galinstan R ) alloy. At room temperature, the embedded Field’s metal is solid and the composite remains elastically rigid....
متن کاملPreparation of Self-Assembled Chitin Nanofiber-Natural Rubber Composite Sheets and Porous Materials
We previously reported the preparation of a self-assembled chitin nanofiber (CNF) film via regeneration from an ion gel with an ionic liquid, followed by sonication and filtration. Based on the finding that CNFs were redispersed in a mixture of the film with ammonia aqueous solution (aq.), in this study, CNF-natural rubber (NR) composite sheets were fabricated by mixing redispersed CNF with NR ...
