Microvascular materials for adaptive electronic structures
Biologically-inspired microvascular networks have found many uses in synthetic materials, including self-healing, thermal management, and electromagnetic reconfiguration. In particular, reconfigurable radio-frequency (RF) systems enabled by microvascular networks containing conductive liquids …

Rapid on-demand polymerization for multifunctional materials
Multifunctional materials are able to perform multiple functions through judicious combinations of structural and non-structural properties, leading to enhancements in systems-level performance. Because multifunctional materials are inherently complex, their manufacturing is typically expensive and …

Computational design of microvascular biomimetic materials
Biomimetic microvascular materials are increasingly considered for a variety of autonomic healing, cooling and sensing applications. The microvascular material of interest in this work consists of a network of hollow microchannels, with diameters as small as 10 μm, embedded in a polymeric matrix. …
