文摘

Interpenetrating phase composites (IPCs) are novel types of multifunctional composite materials. This work focuses on investigating experimentally and computationally the mechanical behavior of novel types of three-dimensional (3D) architectured two-phase IPCs. The current IPCs are architectured using several morphologies of the fascinating and mathematically-known triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) that promote several multifunctional attributes. Specifically, the second hard reinforcing phase takes the architecture of one of the 3D non-intersecting and continuous TPMS-based solid sheets. The mechanical response of the 3D printed polymer-based IPCs is measured under uniaxial compression where the effect of varying the second-phase architecture and volume fraction is explored. Anisotropy induced by the 3D printing is also investigated. 3D finite element analysis has been performed and validated for predicting elastic properties of the various types of TPMS-based IPCs. The most effective TPMS architecture in enhancing the mechanical properties and damage-tolerance has been identified.
