Architectured Materials

The Architectured Materials Group aims at developing novel materials that fill desirable white spaces in the Ashby diagrams. We investigate fundamental processes of small scale plasticity under extreme conditions and multiscale toughening mechanisms in complex hierarchical materials. We translate this knowledge into the design of novel metamaterials with hierarchical architecture and tailored microstructure that allow us to combine usually mutually exclusive properties, e.g. high strength and toughness with a low density. To achieve this, we actively develop nanomechanical instruments and methods and closely integrate experimental and modeling approaches.

Fundamental processes of plasticity and failure in microscale components

A potential pathway towards high specific strength materials is to make use of both extrinsic and intrinsic size effects in the design of mechanical metamaterials. We investigate the rate limiting plastic processes at the nanoscale and the effect of grain and component size on the mechanical behaviour through a combination of thermal activation analysis at low temperatures and high strain rates, microstructural analysis, and computational modeling. A thorough understanding of the fundamental deformation mechanisms enables us to find pathways for influencing the mechanical behavior of the material through microstructural design. To achieve this, we push the limits of what can be measured at the microscale today through active instrument and method development, e.g. for mode-dependent fracture, tensile, cryogenic temperature, or high strain rate experiments.

Multiscale failure of hierarchical materials

Furthermore, we study the failure of complex materials such as hierarchical biological nanocomposites (e.g. bone, wood, teeth) or nanostructured thin films to identify how these materials manage to combine toughness and strength with a light weight through multiscale toughening mechanisms. We assess the influence of their complex microstructure, i.e. the role of interfaces, defects, and material inhomogeneity, on their macroscopic failure. Combining challenging mechanical experiments, microstructural analysis, and mechanical modeling spanning from the nano- to the macroscale allows us to investigate and model the underlying physical processes in these materials at the relevant length scales.

Design, synthesis, and characterization of hierarchical metamaterials

Based on the gained knowledge on fundamental processes at the nanoscale and multiscale toughening mechanisms, we develop novel materials that feature advantageous combinations of properties such as a high specific strength and toughness through simulation-assisted design. This is achieved by making use of size effects, microstructural design, and hierarchical architecture through a combination of microscale additive manufacturing techniques like two photon lithography, electrodeposition, and atomic layer deposition, to prepare materials that are light, strong and damage resistant and fill desirable white spaces in the Ashby diagrams.

Computing human head elastic waves for bone anchored hearing aids

/documents/55912/2384631/Picture+figure/3ab1a948-a8f3-4127-8a5f-bad36e23fb47?t=1683817632231

The aim of this multidisciplinary project is to create a realistically fast, practical, and validated model of the acoustic response in the cochlea resulting from bone conduction hearing aids stimulation. Cutting-edge engineering methods, both numerical (Empa, Lab of Acoustic/ Noise control – ANC) and experimental (Empa, Lab of Mechanics of Materials and Nanostructures – MMN) will be combined with high-level clinical validation (University Hospital Zürich) experiments. Apart from the direct application to create better and more reliable hearing aids, and to understand the influence of individual skull geometries, the project will lead to several fundamental results.

Firstly, very few studies have investigated the viscoelastic properties of bone in the audible range due to limited testing capabilities. We will therefore develop a novel indentation device which is able to determine the material's dynamic response in a wide frequency range. Second, the application of advanced finite element techniques (material homogenization, fluid-structure interaction, model order reduction) for hearing can be transferred to other biomechanical problems, or more general engineering applications. The input data and validation measurements provided by the clinical partner are a unique crosslink ensuring the future use of the project's outcome.

Assessing bone quality using a multidisciplinary approach

/documents/55912/2384631/Figure4.jpg/43a88faa-4995-4aa1-8518-931eaa24930d?t=1619449652310

In this project funded by the Special Focus Area Personalized Health and Related Technologies of the ETH domain, we aim to apply high throughput microscale analysis methods to help solve clinical prob-lems in bone biomechanics with a societal impact. The rising number of bone fractures poses a chal-lenge to ageing societies worldwide. A large portion of physiological loading is carried by cortical bone which motivates the need to understand its structure-property relationships at several length scales. Together with our partners at the University of Bern and the Inselspital, we investigate whether micromechanical measurements may be combined with compositional, morphological, and proteome information to predict macroscopic bone strength in a donor- and site-matched manner. This research has the potential to help form a better understanding of the mechanisms of ageing and disease in bone and may lead to an improved personalized fracture risk prediction in the future.

Efficient development of compositionally complex coatings

/documents/55912/2384631/Figure6.jpg/437b29a1-3d72-4bfb-9c05-a99f4c62dc83?t=1619449731670
The EU Horizon 2020 research and innovation action project FORGE objective is to develop a set of cost-effective highly protective coatings, based on novel Compositionally Complex Materials (CCMs) to provide the required hardness, chemical stability and gas barrier properties for challenging industrial applications. As part of the consortium, we utilize high throughput processes for efficient material dis-covery based on thin film combinatorial material libraries. These are synthesized by physical vapor deposition and analyzed in terms of their composition, microstructure, and mechanical performance under various boundary conditions to identify process-composition-structure-property relationships. This allows the effective screening of material libraries to identify materials of interest for specific appli-cations like improved chemical or wear resistance.

Microscale 3D printing by local electrodeposition

The aim of the Innosuisse innovation project NIPRINT (3D Microprinting of Nickel) is to develop a pro-cess that allows printing of microscale nickel components by local electrodeposition, using the CERES µAM print system manufactured by Exaddon AG (Zürich, Switzerland). The project includes bath chemis-try optimization, hardware and software development, as well as deposit characterization. Microstruc-tures deposited at different printing parameters are characterized using different analytical techniques, such as SEM, EDX, XRD, EBSD and TEM, while the mechanical properties, such as Young's modulus, strength, ductility and creep behavior, are investigated by micromechanical testing at extreme condi-tions.

In situ high-speed nanomechanical testing inside the scanning electron microscope

HINT (High-speed in situ nanomechanical tester) is a project financed by the Eureka Eurostars funding scheme and a collaborative effort of four project partners from academia and industry. Empa (Thun, Switzerland), the Max Planck Institute for Iron Research (Düsseldorf, Germany), point electronic GmbH (Halle, Germany) and Alemnis AG (Thun, Switzerland) are working together with the aim of developing a novel stand alone in situ device that combines high-resolution nanomechanical testing with high-speed imaging. These features will be coupled with nanoscale characterisation at extreme conditions including strain rates of up to 1000 s-1. The new device will allow the dynamic in situ study of structural changes of samples at the nanometre length scale during mechanical testing. The new insights will give invaluable feedback on small scale structures and the optimisation of their architecture and design.

Developing mechanically tunable optical metamaterials

/documents/55912/2384631/Figure9.jpg/47a5fe0b-eafd-4e8c-90b8-a2494a19be4b?t=1655455991363

The focus of the project MetaQD is to lay the foundations for infrared nanostructured metamaterials-based detectors that combine nano-elements using directed self-assembly, with the goal of developing advanced photonic devices with improved optical performance that are mechanically tuneable for add-ed functionality for sensing applications. Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) have emerged as promising na-nomaterials for broadband detection as their sensitivity depends on size and can be tuned from visible to mid-infrared (MIR) range. However, their absorption cross-section is quite low, thus limiting their po-tential. A possible solution are optical resonant nanostructures: squeezing light into small mode vol-umes enhances light-matter interactions dramatically. Nanostructured metamaterials can be used to enhance light absorption in QDs resulting in responsivity up to 5 μm within the midwave infrared win-dow, where disturbance from atmospheric influence can be avoided. This has the potential to increase device sensitivity and adds functionality allowing sustainable research. The proposed project will lay the foundation for the development of next generation nano-opto-mechanical devices for various applica-tions.
