Great to work with @luxenhoferlab.bsky.social again and the Lindberg Lab at Knight Campus, who are always great partners.

..with some extra figures. Check out the Supporting Videos, as there are several interesting ones there!

....importantly, this discovery of geometric design would not have been possible without Ievgenii Liashenko and Andrei Hrynevich.

...there is much more to this - it allows self correction of inherent defects for sinusoidal fiber printing and gives control to make new shapes for many applications.

..it also allows branching and recombination of MEW fiber walls which also effects the mechanics.....you might see a boat, but I also see a hinge...

..so this subtle control of fiber-on-fiber placement can have a substantial effect on its mechanical properties. For instance this candy-cane colored image shows three types of walls - vertical, inwards tilting and outwards tilting so it stretches differently in each direction..

...there is resistance to doing this due to an "auto-focusing" effect by the electric field, but layer-by-layer shifts in the printing path lets you tilt the fiber walls...

Thanks for setting this up - could you please add me?

I wanted to thank my friends and hopefully interested colleagues who I nominated for the MEW group, to get things up and running. Thank you!🙏

Thanks! Could you please add me to the 3D printing and polymer group?

one more self nomination :-) - thanks for organizing this group!
