Novel Metamaterials based on Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces

Submitted by Rashid K. Abu Al-Rub on

Recently, there has been a growing interest in investigating the multi-functional properties of novel types of metamaterials, metastructures, and metacomposites based on triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS). TPMS have been discovered more than 160 years ago and thanks to additive manufacturing (3D printing) they become reality only recently and opend the doors for several applications. Check our latest paper published in the journal of Advanced Engineering Materials on the state-of-the-art in designing, manufacturing, and mechanical properties of multifunctional materials based on TPMS and their technological applications that have been boosted because of the advances in digital design and additive manufacturing (3D printing).
