Morphable 3D mesostructures and microelectronic devices by multistable buckling mechanics
Reconfigurable electronic devices that can be shaped in two or more stable geometries modifying their functionalities have been realized, as highlighted by the Cover of March 2018 Issue of Nature Materials.
Soft network materials with isotropic negative Poisson's ratios over large strains
Auxetic materials with negative Poisson's ratios have important applications across a broad range of engineering areas, such as biomedical devices, aerospace engineering and automotive engineering. A variety of design strategies have been developed to achieve artificial auxetic materials with controllable responses in the Poisson's ratio. The development of designs that can offer isotropic negative Poisson's ratios over large strains can open up new opportunities in emerging biomedical applications, which, however, remains a challenge.
Printing, folding and assembly methods for forming 3D mesostructures in advanced materials
