A Universal Toughening and Energy-Dissipating Strategy for Impact-Resistant 3D-Printed Composites

With the integration of low-altitude economy and 3D printing technology, optimizing the impact resistance of polymer-based composites has become a key issue. Commonly used polymer matrix materials often lack sufficient ductility, making it difficult to meet the dynamic mechanical performance requirements of aircraft components. In the research paper shared in this issue, Professor Yan Li’s … Read more

3D Printed Biomimetic Gradient Composite Materials Significantly Outperform Traditional Materials in Impact Resistance

[Image] Traditional continuous fiber reinforced composites (CFRCs) have long been limited in their impact resistance along the Z-axis, and additive manufacturing technology struggles to accurately replicate complex biological structures. In nature, the mantis shrimp’s dactyl club, with its unique sinusoidal fiber arrangement and gradient modulus distribution, exhibits impact strength far exceeding that of artificial materials. … Read more
