In Mechanics, material properties are most often regarded as being given, and based on this, many technical solutions are usually conceived and constructed. However, nowadays manufacturing processes have advanced to the point that metamaterials having selected properties can be designed and fabricated. Three-dimensional printing, electrospinning, self-assembly, and many other advanced manufacturing techniques are raising a number of scientific questions which must be addressed if the potential of these new technologies is to be fully realized. In this work, we report on the status of modeling and analysis of metamaterials exhibiting a rich and varied macroscopic response conferred by complex microstructures and particularly focus on strongly interacting inextensible or nearly inextensible fibers. The principal aim is to furnish a framework in which the mechanics of 3D rapid prototyping of microstructured lattices and fabrics can be clearly understood and exploited. Moreover, several-related open questions will be identified and discussed, and some methodological considerations of general interest are provided.

“…23 The resulting materials, in a variety of forms ranging from individual nanofibers to non-woven mats with large area, have found application in many fields, including the realization of self-cleaning, superhydrophobic and superolephobic coatings. [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] Their wettability has been mainly assessed by measuring the apparent contact angle (150°) and the roll off angle (10°), and explained in terms of the standard Cassie model with the drop contacting a composite landscape of trapped air and solid substrate. 1 Here, we focus on a different property, studying highly sticky hydrophobic fibers, and investigate a feature scarcely addressed [36][37][38] hitherto.…”

Developing 1 new science produces technological benefits: this is so often repeated it is a commonplace nowadays. In our opinion the converse statement, i.e. that cuttingedge technology provides substantial stimuli for scientific innovation, has not to be underestimated either. Hence, the interaction between science and technology has not to be regarded as unilateral/one-way. In fact (as summarized in Fig. 1.1), the investigation of theoretical models describing some known phenomena can lead to the development of new scientifically designed devices which, in turn, might unveil some not-yetdiscovered phenomena. This process of scientific modeling, designing and experimental discoveries could in principle keep going indefinitely. Of note, the process leads to the discovery of progressively "higher order" phenomena, which become accessible only after some necessary "lower order" modeling and discoveries. Apparent examples of very high-order phenomena are easily found in current research (to mention a recent and widely known case) in quantum gravity, concerning the discovery of gravitational waves.It is a matter of fact that emerging technologies and development of the exact sciences have a close relation. Actually, it is a leitmotiv in the History of Science that new technological possibilities lead to new phenomenological evidences, putting in crisis any existing paradigm and gradually leading to a totally new one. The birth of scientific technology in the Hellenistic World, the rise of modern mechanics in the age of Galileo, and the development of thermodynamics in the early nineteenth century are relevant examples of this phenomenon. In all these cases, it is by now well-established among historians of science that a significant conceptual revolution occurred driven by technological reasons. The main goal of these successful new ideas, that nowadays after a long and troublesome process we call classical physics, was to design and describe new technology (as for example bombards, steam engines, or catapults). Let us examine in more detail one of the above-mentioned examples: the revolution in the conception of mechanics due to the results of Galileo and his school. Simplifying necessarily a complex matter, we can say that, while within the Peripatetic school (the philosophic tradition based on Aristotle) the motion of objects like the projectiles of bombards does not obey the same laws that govern celestial mechanics. Galileo managed to include phenomena
