Triply periodic minimal surfaces for thermo-mechanical protection by Samantha Cheung, Jiyun Kang, Yujui Lin, Kenneth E. Goodson, Mehdi Asheghi, X. Wendy Gu

“…With a 0.43% copper volume loading, the lattice more than tripled in thermal conductivity but still retained a polymer-like compliance. A higher lattice relative density did not affect the thermal conductivity but caused a higher elastic modulus and compressive strength, and a stiffer cyclic loading response. …”
