Architectured Materials in Nature and Engineering

Architectured Materials in Nature and Engineering: Archimats explores the principles of geometry-inspired materials design. The text examines how combining distinct constituents within defined topologies and geometries can yield properties that are otherwise incompatible.

The volume addresses both naturally occurring biological structures and engineered systems. It tracks hybridization across physical scales ranging from molecular arrangements to macroscopic dimensions.

Written by Yuri Estrin and a group of active researchers, the book offers programmatic chapters that define archimats and summarize developments in the field for materials scientists and wider technical readerships.
