The cellular forms of purely natural components are the inspiration at the rear of a new lightweight, 3D printed wise architected content formulated by an global workforce of engineers.

The team, led by engineers from the College of Glasgow, combined a typical variety of industrial plastic with carbon nanotubes to generate a material which is more durable, stronger and smarter than comparable traditional products.

The nanotubes also let the otherwise nonconductive plastic to have an electric powered cost throughout its structure. When the composition is subjected to mechanical masses, its electrical resistance improvements. This phenomenon, identified as piezoresitivity, gives the product the means to “perception” its structural health and fitness.
