The Architectural Optimization of Stretch-formed Ceramic-aluminum Microtruss Composites

Microtruss cellular materials have large internal surface areas and small cross-sectional strut dimensions, permitting surface modification to substantially enhance their mechanical performance. For instance, a ~400% increase in compressive strength with virtually no weight penalty can be induced by...
