An innovative approach to joining materials that enhances strength and toughness at interfaces, inspired by natural structures.
This technology involves the development of material components and multiscale designs, from macro to nanoscale, aimed at reducing stress at interfaces, preventing failure at stress points, and enabling the joining of multiple material types. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, specifically the adjoined forewings of terrestrial beetles, this approach utilizes a combination of modulated elliptical architectures, multilayered and multidirectional laminated microstructures, and nanoscale features to achieve its goals. These designs have been optimized for applications across aerospace, automotive, sports equipment, construction, and clothing industries, offering a revolutionary solution to the challenges of material joining.
