Porous and cellular materials have long fascinated scientists and engineers. A great variety of cellular materials is present in nature. Their architectures as well as their unique properties have inspired researchers for the development of lightweight structures, energy-absorbing padding, or thermal insulating panels. Examples of cellular architectures in nature are wood, plant leaves and stems, trabecular bone, coral, cork, and sponges.

Abstract
Porous and cellular materials have long fascinated scientists and engineers. A great variety of cellular materials is present in nature. Their architectures as well as their unique properties have inspired researchers for the development of lightweight structures, energy-absorbing padding, or thermal insulating panels. Examples of cellular architectures in nature are wood, plant leaves and stems, trabecular bone, coral, cork, and sponges.File in questo prodotto:
