Additive Manufacturing of Gradient Stiffness Honeycombs Using Thermoplastic Polyurethane Composite Material Variations

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
By combining porous, solid, and carbon fiber‐reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane within a single 3D printed honeycomb structure, this current work achieved precise control over spatial stiffness while ensuring strong interlayer adhesion. The findings demonstrate enhanced energy absorption and densification strain, outperforming traditional uniform ...

Multimode Adaptive Thermoregulation Enabled by Shape Morphing and Radiative Cooling Porous Polyurethane

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A shape‐morphing, porous polyurethane film combines passive radiative cooling with folding to deliver multilevel heating‐and‐cooling control. High solar reflectance and midinfrared emissivity keep surfaces up to 3.5 °C cooler in direct sunlight, while photothermal triggering folds the film to absorb solar heat.

Encapsulating Laser‐Induced Graphene to Preserve its Electrical Properties and Enhance its Mechanical Robustness

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
It is demonstrated that laser‐induced graphene (LIG) can be encapsulated while preserving its electrical conductivity and enhancing its mechanical properties. Unlike previous encapsulation attempts, the optimal conditions described here result in sheet resistance of ≈2 Ω sq−1, resistance increase of only 5% upon encapsulation, and vastly improved ...
