Abstract This work presents a novel bottom‐up approach using template from self‐assembled block copolymer followed by selective etching for templated electrochemical deposition to fabricate well‐ordered nanonetwork Invar (Fe 64 Ni 36 ) thin film, giving exceptional mechanical properties as metamaterials. By utilizing pulse‐current deposition, it is feasible achieve complete pore‐filling the template, diamond‐structured with strut size of ≈20 nm that one‐order magnitude less than smallest...

Inspired by knobby starfish, this work demonstrates a bottom-up approach for fabricating calcite single-crystal (CSC) with diamond structure exploiting the self-assembly of block copolymer and corresponding templated synthesis. Similar to CSC gives rise brittle-to-ductile transition. Most interestingly, diamond-structured fabricated exhibits exceptional specific energy absorption strength lightweight character superior natural materials artificial counterparts from top-down due nanosized...

Inspired by Mantis shrimp, this work aims to suggest a bottom-up approach for the fabrication of nanonetwork hydroxyapatite (HAp) thin film using self-assembled polystyrene-block-polydimethylsiloxane (PS-b-PDMS) block copolymer (BCP) with diamond nanostructure as template templated sol–gel reaction. By introducing poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) into precursors calcium nitrate tetrahydrate and triethyl phosphite, which limits growth forming HAp nanoparticles, well-ordered can be fabricated....

Biomimicking natural structures to create structural materials with superior mechanical performance is an area of extensive attention, yet achieving both high strength and toughness remains challenging. This study presents a novel bottom-up approach using self-assembled block copolymer templating synthesize bicontinuous nanohybrids composed well-ordered nanonetwork hydroxyapatite (HAp) embedded in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). structuring transforms intrinsically brittle HAp into ductile...

Abstract Herein, this work aims to develop a facile method for the fabrication of metallic mechanical metamaterial with well-ordered diamond structure from bottom-up approach using self-assembled block copolymer templated electrochemical deposition. By controlling effective volume fraction PDMS in PS- b -PDMS via solvent annealing followed by HF etching PDMS, it is feasible obtain nanoporous PS diamond-structured nanochannels and used as template Subsequently, nanonetwork gold (Au) can be...

Herein, this work aims to demonstrate the topological effect on mechanical characteristics of self-assembled block copolymers (BCPs). The lamellae-forming polystyrene-block-polydimethylsiloxane (PS-b-PDMS) can be into various nanostructured monoliths with use PS-selective solvent for annealing, giving diamond, gyroid, and cylinder structures increasing swelling degree PS domain (the effective volume fraction segment after annealing followed by evaporation). stiffness is scrutinized...
