Multifunctional Crushing and Piezoresistive Self‐Sensing in Conductive Epoxy/CNT‐Coated Polyetherimide TPMS Lattices

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 11, 3 June 2026.
This study reports lightweight polyetherimide triply periodic minimal surfaces lattices coated with carbon nanotube‐reinforced epoxy that combine mechanical robustness with self‐sensing. The conformal coating enhances stiffness, strength and energy absorption while enabling reliable strain monitoring.

Design and Optimization of Floor Layers in Carbon Fiber Composites for Body‐in‐White Materials

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
The PSO‐BFO‐optimized partitioned carbon fiber mid‐floor achieves a 46.7% weight reduction and significantly improves the bending and torsional stiffness and modal performance of the body‐in‐white. ABSTRACT To improve the performance of the body‐in‐white (BIW) and achieve automotive lightweighting, a balanced approach across materials, techniques, and ...

Ultrahigh Stiffness and Energy Absorption Properties of Isotropic Metallic Closed Cell Microlattices

Small, Volume 22, Issue 35, 23 June 2026.
True closed cell microlattices without holes are fabricated for the first time using a novel Laser Sheet Fusion additive manufacturing technique. These microlattices exhibited isotropy in stiffness and surprisingly, strength and plasticity as well, despite orientation‐dependent failure mechanisms. Furthermore, material work hardening is shown to be key

Image‐Modulated Implicit‐Field Design of Graded Re‐Entrant Triply Periodical Minimal Surface With Stabilised Auxetic Response

physica status solidi (b), Volume 263, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study introduces functionally graded auxetic TPMS metamaterials designed to stabilise negative Poisson’s ratio behaviour at large strains. By suppressing out‐of‐plane buckling and promoting sequential crushing, these graded architectures maintain predictable deformation paths and enhanced stability compared with uniform designs.

Engineering Deformation and Failure in Diamond Triply Periodic Minimal Surface Lattices via 3D Wall‐Thickness Grading

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 5, 4 March 2026.
The work demonstrates that strategic wall‐thickness grading in diamond triply periodic minimal surface lattices enables precise tuning of deformation and failure behavior under compression. Different gradation patterns guide how and where the structure collapses, improving energy absorption or promoting controlled brittle failure.
