Description

In this podcast episode, MRS Bulletin’s Laura Leay interviews Reza Moini of Princeton University about his group’s development of an enhanced additive manufacturing technique to fabricate cementitious materials with excellent fracture toughness. They based their design of the material on the double-helical or double-bouligand structure of coelacanth fish scales that resist deformation. In order to fabricate the material, Moini’s research team used a two-component robotic additive manufacturing process. The extrusion system was controlled using specialist algorithms. This work was published in a recent issue of Nature Communications.
