Additive Manufacturing of Nano- and Microarchitected Materials

Abstract

Creating materials with a suite of designed properties is one of key challenges in our society. Solving this grand challenge will open pathways to create entirely new classes of materials, whose properties are determined a priori and are attained through a multiscale physically informed approach. These new material classes will offer breakthrough advances in almost every branch of manufacturing and technology from ultralightweight and damage-tolerant structural materials to safe and efficient energy storage, biomedical devices, biochemical and micromechanical sensors and actuators, nanophotonic devices, and textiles.
