Engineering crack tortuosity in printed polymer–polymer composites through ordered pores

Materials Horizons, vol. 7, pp. 1854–1860

Abstract

A recently developed multimaterial printing approach, solution mask liquid lithography, is used to produce porous polymer–polymer composites inspired by hierarchical natural structures that exhibit significant crack deflection.
