Abstract:Biological materials relying on hierarchically ordered architectures inspire the emergence of advanced composites with mutually exclusive mechanical properties, but the efficient topology optimization and large‐scale manufacturing remain challenging. Herein, this work proposes a scalable bottom‐up approach to fabricate a novel nacre‐like cement‐resin composite with gradient brick‐and‐mortar (BM) structure, and demonstrates a machine learning‐assisted method to optimize the gradient structure. The fabricated gr… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
