Bioinspired Structures

Architected materials, which are designed and engineered with specific microstructures, hold great promise for healthcare applications. In particular, tensile samples based on architected materials exhibit unique properties that can address key challenges in medical devices and implants. By precisely controlling the architecture at the micro- and nano-scale, these materials can be optimized for high strength-to-weight ratio, tunable stiffness, and enhanced biocompatibility.
