Multi-material 3D printed composites inspired by nacre: a hard/soft mechanical interplay

Abstract Structural materials are used extensively in nature where mechanical function is required. These structures are composites consisting of soft and, in some cases, hard phases precisely distributed over different length scales. Bio-inspiration aims at producing materials with structure, desig...
