Diamond lattice-based architected materials have emerged as an important class of engineered materials due to their exceptional mechanical properties, including high strength-to-weight ratios, fracture toughness, and energy absorption. The geometric arrangement of tetrahedral cells in the diamond lattice imparts advantages like low density, high surface area, and excellent isotropic behavior. These properties have enabled the use of additively manufactured diamond lattices in a wide range of applications across industries such as aerospace, automotive, biomedical, and consumer products. Ongoing research efforts are focused on extending diamond lattices into novel areas like photonics, energy absorption, catalysis, and batteries. The tunable fabrication and design of diamond lattices, combined with their lightweight yet robust structural capabilities, make them well-suited for advanced applications requiring multi-functional performance under demanding conditions.

📣 In collaboration with national and international partners, researchers at the Institute of Materials Engineering have published novel results on an additively manufactured high-temperature shape memory alloy in the Journal 📰 of Virtual and Physical Prototyping. Titanium-tantalum (Ti-Ta) high-temperature shape memory alloys (HT-SMAs) are promising candidate materials for actuator applications at elevated temperatures. Researchers of the Institute of Materials Engineering, in collaboration with partners from TANIOBIS GmbH in Germany and RMIT Centre for Additive Manufacturing in Australia, have conducted a novel study on these smart materials. The authors report on the microstructure and functional properties of an additively manufactured Ti-30Ta (at.%) alloy. For the first time, Ti-Ta HT-SMA bulk structures were successfully processed using electron beam-based powder bed fusion (PBF-EB/M) technique. PBF-EB/M processed structures with near full density and an isotropic microstructure were obtained. Following an adequate post-process heat treatment, a reversible martensitic phase transformation well above 100°C was found. The article is titled "Electron beam powder bed fusion of Ti-30Ta high-temperature shape memory alloy: microstructure and phase transformation behaviour".

In recent years, deformable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have garnered significant attention for their potential in flexible/wearable electronics, sensors, and displays due to their high energy capacity, density, rate capability, reliability, and durability. Flexible or stretchable LIBs require mechanically robust active layers to withstand external stress/strain. These batteries can be fabricated by modifying battery component geometries or using intrinsically flexible/deformable polymer materials. Structural modifications, such as buckling, rigid islands/elastic bridges, helically coiled springs, and 2D/3D porous structures, demand precise geometrical design and complex multistep fabrication. This study showcases a promising approach to creating deformable cathodes with electrical conductivity through the formation of 3D interconnected elastomeric networks. Deformable LIBs can serve as primary power sources for flexible and wearable electronics due to their high energy capacity, reliability, and durability, emphasizing the importance of developing mechanically free-standing and stretchable cathodes. https://lnkd.in/d_EbyAPs

I’m excited to share that our research paper, "On the Potential of Manufacturing Multi-Material Components with Micro/Nanocellular Structures via the Hybrid Process of Electromagnetic Forming Injection Foaming (EFIF)", has been officially published in the ASME Journal of Micro and Nano Science and Engineering! This work presents a novel approach of Electromagnetic Forming Injection Foaming (EFIF), which integrates injection molding, forming, and foaming processes into a single hybrid process. This process begins with a simultaneous filling-forming phase, followed by supercritical fluid (SCF) assisted foaming controlled by electromagnetic forming. Our findings underscore the potential of the novel EFIF process for manufacturing multimaterial components consisting of a polymeric foam with a micro/nanocellular structure. This innovation presents exciting opportunities for various sectors, including the automotive industry (such as battery enclosures for EVs and lightweight car components), energy applications (like insulation panels), electronics (including lightweight, transparent plastics), and the chemical industry (such as filters and catalysts) that are aiming for lighter, stronger, and more efficient materials.  A big thank you to my co-authors and everyone who supported me throughout this journey, with special gratitude to Dr. Saeed Farahani for his invaluable guidance and support!  For those interested in this research, feel free to read the paper and reach out if you'd like to discuss or collaborate further. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eM_GARKX
