Title: Multi-scale computational frameworks for hierachical porous material design
The application of porous heterogeneous hierarchical materials across industries is limitless; their roles as catalysts, adsorbents, ion-exchangers, membranes, antibacterial agents, etc., are constrained only by the ability to design and fabricate new materials systems optimized for various reactive transport processes. These materials often comprise an inert scaffold designed with multiple levels and distributions of porosities, tortuosities and particle sizes, which are decorated with active sites. While the hierarchical structure and chemical composition of such materials are inextricably linked, most design schemes focus on one aspect or another, owing to the complexity in such a holistic design. By coupling rigorous computational and experimental approaches we are developing a new design paradigm that considers both the material properties along with the fabrication and structural aspects of the material system. In this talk we will discuss initial results including the design and optimization of an activated carbon based flue gas filter.  more » « less

  1. Structural hierarchy, in which materials possess distinct features on multiple length scales, is ubiquitous in nature. Diverse biological materials, such as bone, cellulose, and muscle, have as many as 10 hierarchical levels. Structural hierarchy confers many mechanical advantages, including improved toughness and economy of material. However, it also presents a problem: Each hierarchical level adds a new source of assembly errors and substantially increases the information required for proper assembly. This seems to conflict with the prevalence of naturally occurring hierarchical structures, suggesting that a common mechanical source of hierarchical robustness may exist. However, our ability to identify such a unifying phenomenon is limited by the lack of a general mechanical framework for structures exhibiting organization on disparate length scales. Here, we use simulations to substantiate a generalized model for the tensile stiffness of hierarchical filamentous networks with a nested, dilute triangular lattice structure. Following seminal work by Maxwell and others on criteria for stiff frames, we extend the concept of connectivity in network mechanics and find a similar dependence of material stiffness upon each hierarchical level. Using this model, we find that stiffness becomes less sensitive to errors in assembly with additional levels of hierarchy; although surprising, we show that this result is analytically predictable from first principles and thus potentially model independent. More broadly, this work helps account for the success of hierarchical, filamentous materials in biology and materials design and offers a heuristic for ensuring that desired material properties are achieved within the required tolerance.

  2. Abstract

    Topology optimization has been proved to be an automatic, efficient and powerful tool for structural designs. In recent years, the focus of structural topology optimization has evolved from mono-scale, single material structural designs to hierarchical multimaterial structural designs. In this research, the multi-material structural design is carried out in a concurrent parametric level set framework so that the structural topologies in the macroscale and the corresponding material properties in mesoscale can be optimized simultaneously. The constructed cardinal basis function (CBF) is utilized to parameterize the level set function. With CBF, the upper and lower bounds of the design variables can be identified explicitly, compared with the trial and error approach when the radial basis function (RBF) is used. In the macroscale, the ‘color’ level set is employed to model the multiple material phases, where different materials are represented using combined level set functions like mixing colors from primary colors. At the end of this optimization, the optimal material properties for different constructing materials will be identified. By using those optimal values as targets, a second structural topology optimization is carried out to determine the exact mesoscale metamaterial structural layout. In both the macroscale and the mesoscale structural topology optimization, an energy functional is utilized to regularize the level set function to be a distance-regularized level set function, where the level set function is maintained as a signed distance function along the design boundary and kept flat elsewhere. The signed distance slopes can ensure a steady and accurate material property interpolation from the level set model to the physical model. The flat surfaces can make it easier for the level set function to penetrate its zero level to create new holes. After obtaining both the macroscale structural layouts and the mesoscale metamaterial layouts, the hierarchical multimaterial structure is finalized via a local-shape-preserving conformal mapping to preserve the designed material properties. Unlike the conventional conformal mapping using the Ricci flow method where only four control points are utilized, in this research, a multi-control-point conformal mapping is utilized to be more flexible and adaptive in handling complex geometries. The conformally mapped multi-material hierarchical structure models can be directly used for additive manufacturing, concluding the entire process of designing, mapping, and manufacturing.

    Nature does nothing in vain. Through millions of years of revolution, living organisms have evolved hierarchical and anisotropic structures to maximize their survival in complex and dynamic environments. Many of these structures are intrinsically heterogeneous and often with functional gradient distributions. Understanding the convergent and divergent gradient designs in the natural material systems may lead to a new paradigm shift in the development of next-generation high-performance bio-/nano-materials and devices that are critically needed in energy, environmental remediation, and biomedical fields. Herein, we review the basic design principles and highlight some of the prominent examples of gradient biological materials/structures discovered over the past few decades. Interestingly, despite the anisotropic features in one direction (i.e., in terms of gradient compositions and properties), these natural structures retain certain levels of symmetry, including point symmetry, axial symmetry, mirror symmetry, and 3D symmetry. We further demonstrate the state-of-the-art fabrication techniques and procedures in making the biomimetic counterparts. Some prototypes showcase optimized properties surpassing those seen in the biological model systems. Finally, we summarize the latest applications of these synthetic functional gradient materials and structures in robotics, biomedical, energy, and environmental fields, along with their future perspectives. This review may stimulate scientists, engineers, and inventors to explore this emerging and disruptive research methodology and endeavors.

  4. Abstract

    Fluorinated compounds, while rarely used by nature, are emerging as fundamental ingredients in biomedical research, with applications in drug discovery, metabolomics, biospectroscopy, and, as the focus of this review, peptide/protein engineering. Leveraging the fluorous effect to direct peptide assembly has evolved an entirely new class of organofluorine building blocks from which unique and bioactive materials can be constructed. Here, we discuss three distinct peptide fluorination strategies used to design and induce peptide assembly into nano‐, micro‐, and macro‐supramolecular states that potentiate high‐ordered organization into material scaffolds. These fluorine‐tailored peptide assemblies employ the unique fluorous environment to boost biofunctionality for a broad range of applications, from drug delivery to antibacterial coatings. This review provides foundational tactics for peptide fluorination and discusses the utility of these fluorous‐directed hierarchical structures as material platforms in diverse biomedical applications.

  5. Because of increased geometric freedom at a widening range of length scales and access to a growing material space, additive manufacturing has spurred renewed interest in topology optimization of parts with spatially varying material properties and structural hierarchy. Simultaneously, a surge of micro/nanoarchitected materials have been demonstrated. Nevertheless, multiscale design and micro/nanoscale additive manufacturing have yet to be sufficiently integrated to achieve free-form, multiscale, biomimetic structures. We unify design and manufacturing of spatially varying, hierarchical structures through a multimicrostructure topology optimization formulation with continuous multimicrostructure embedding. The approach leads to an optimized layout of multiple microstructural materials within an optimized macrostructure geometry, manufactured with continuously graded interfaces. To make the process modular and controllable and to avoid prohibitively expensive surface representations, we embed the microstructures directly into the 3D printer slices. The ideas provide a critical, interdisciplinary link at the convergence of material and structure in optimal design and manufacturing.
