/ about
Moving towards sustainable economies with net-zero pollution and developing resilient infrastructures while mitigating the impact of natural disasters require drastic changes in designing new and advanced materials. New materials will need to bear more load with less materials and be programmable to be intelligent in order to sense, process the loading conditions and take actions.
Enhancing the programmability and intelligence would allow the materials to maximise their performance, be responsive to the changes of surrounding environments, helping to reduce the waste and pollution throughout the lifetime of materials. Enhancing the degree of intelligence of materials also enables new developments of multi-scale smart systems in robotics and artificial intelligence, better emulating the intelligence of living species.
Architected materials are a class of materials that are deliberately constructed by internally intricate structures at mesoscales to significantly reduce the weight and achieve properties and performance that are not accessible in naturally found materials. Engineering the internal meso-structures offers the materials designer new opportunities to program the material responses. There have been significant efforts in scientific communities in the past few years in enhancing the strength and programmability of architected materials.
