Mechanical metamaterials such as origami or ordered 3D printed structures have shown
tremendous applications in science and technology. However, the main disadvantage of …

A comprehensive overview and description of crumpled graphene explored in recent years
for energy storage applications is presented. Although graphene is known as one of the best …

This study aimed at investigating how ice templating conditions affected the shrinkage, the
microstructure, and the mechanical properties of cellulose nanofibril (NFC) foams …

Graphene holds promise as an ultracapacitor due to its high specific surface area and
intrinsic capacitance. To exploit both, a maximum surface area must be accessible while the …

Bulk carbon nanomaterials based on graphene and other sp2 carbon nanopolymorphs are
structures with a low density but high resistance to compression. These materials are …

Modeling and simulation allow methodical variation of material properties beyond the
capacity of experimental methods. The polymers are one of the most commonly used …

The intricate three-dimensional (3D) conformations of two-dimensional (2D)
macromolecules play fundamental roles in biology and materials. Diverse conformational …

As a confined thin sheet crumples, it spontaneously segments into flat facets delimited by a
network of ridges. Despite the apparent disorder of this process, statistical properties of …

The influence of multi-layered nanostructured graphene as reinforcement on thermal and
mechanical properties of epoxy-based nanocomposites has been studied. The maximum …

In this Letter, we emphasize that methods of fractal homogenization should take into account
a loop structure of the fractal, as well as its connectivity and geodesic metric. The fractal …
