Rapid synchronized fabrication of vascularized thermosets and composites

Submitted by xiangzhang on

Dear colleagues,

We are happy to share a recent collaborative study on experimental and numerical investigation of  rapid synchronized fabrication of vascularized thermosets and composites. This study demonstrated that a thermoset polymer or polymer composites with embedded microvascular systems can be fabricated in a single step, using a self-propagating polymerization reaction front.  For more details, please see: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-23054-7
