This project aims to validate a novel strain-stiffening material inspired by natural systems for use in orthotics. The material's unique properties allow it to increase stiffness in response to deformation, providing protective mechanisms without additional chemicals.
A strain-stiffening material is a material that increases its stiffness in response to deformation.
This behaviour is frequently found in nature to protect systems from destruction.
For example, in cells strain-stiffening occurs by the cross-linking of cytoskeletal fibers upon external forces.
Within the ERC project CELLINSPIRED we have developed a material where we mimic this biological behavior in a novel type of artificial strain-stiffening material, where comb-like structures touch each othe…
