Localized and Rapid Variable Compliance Via Phase Changing Matter and Distributed Computation
Abstract
We will 3D print high toughness elastomeric matrices embedded with phase-changing granules, co-continuous vascular networks for power and control, and distributed computation. This capability will be enabled by Continuous Liquid Interface Projection Stereo-Lithography printing and tiny wireless computers. Two of these networks will be imbibed with (1) ionically conductive gels for powering embedded electronics and Joule heating of the phase changing material, and (2) thermal cooling fluid.
