Bio-inspired micro-to-nanoporous polymers with tunable stiffness

Bio-inspired micro-to-nanoporous polymers with tunable stiffness

Background: Inspired by structural hierarchies and the related excellent mechanical properties of biological materials, we created a smoothly graded micro- to nanoporous structure from a thermoplastic polymer.Results: The viscoelastic properties for the different pore sizes were investigated in the...
