Developing ultra-lightweight, damage tolerant meta-materials through architecture and nano-structuring
Abstract
The objective of proposed work is to develop the scientific and engineering foundations for 3-dimensional nano-architected meta-materials that are simultaneously lightweight, damagetolerant, and thermally insulating. A successful execution will shift the paradigm of materialcreation towards more of a ~materials by design~ approach and will enable transformativeadvances in the areas of lightweight damage-tolerant materials, structural mechanics, deviceintegration, photovoltaics, energy storage, and electronic devices.
