Abstract

Natural porous materials have exceptional properties-for example, light weight, mechanical resilience, and multi-functionality. Efforts to imitate their properties in engineered structures have limited success. This, in part, is caused by the complexity of multi-phase materials composites and by the lack of quantified understandingof each component's role in overall hierarchy. This challenge is twofold: 1) computational. because non-periodicity and defects render constructing design guidelines between geometries and mechanical properties complex and expensive and 2) experimental. because the fabrication and characterization of complex, often hierarchical and non-periodic 3D architectures is non-trivial.
