3D printing of lobster-claw inspired structure

Here we report an electrically assisted additive manufacturing approach that bio-mimic the Bouligand structure in natural creatures to create highly impact resistant architectures. The alignment of surface modified Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT-S) was controlled by rotating electric field during printing. (https://advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/adma.201605750?scrollTo=references)
