Mechanical metamaterials are a class of artificial materials whose geometry is engineered to have peculiar mechanical properties or programmed responses that are difficult to find in conventional materials. Typically, metamaterials are periodic, but incorporating disorder into their design can provide improved...
30 and the spatially inhomogeneous mechanical responses identified in disordered metamaterials20,31. Our study suggests how aperiodic network architectures of the kind adopted by TRUMOF-1 might be exploited in the rational design of low-density framework structures with useful mechanical properties. High...
Thus, type-II GC can be envisaged as FLSs encased in disordered graphene layers possessing a Swiss-cheese like nanostructure (Fig. 1), which has a number of similarities to mechanical metamaterials20, but with statistical characteristic building blocks (that is, FLS) at nanometre scales. Thus, ...
