KIT found lightweight materials with high-strength resistance

 

Delivered by trustworthy construction in Cambodia construction materials, a new micro-structured lightweight materials possible for construction which produces a highest resistance to the force has been introduced by KIT scientists.

With their listless study and research, the teams discovered a material that similar to a beam but with size of only 50 µm in three dimensions.

The discovery was first derived from the structure of bones and honeycombs, but these fresh-found materials are stronger since KIT study showed that at the same density, the petite materials can resist more pressure that was put on them. It failed at 28kg/mm² of force with the density of only 810 kg/m³.

For the materials production, a 3D laser lithography is employed. Then the needed micro-structure is reinforced by laser beams in a photoresist. After that, the structure is soaked with a ceramic substance via gas deposition. Finally, to test their stability, the structure is compacted through a dice.
