Tensegrity-Inspired Polymer Films: Progressive Bending Stiffness through Multipolymeric Patterning
Rikima Kuwada, Shuto Ito, Yuta Shimoda +4
Materials with J-shaped stress-strain behavior under uniaxial stretching, where strength increases as deformation progresses, have been developed through various materials designs.…
