Geometry affected delamination of polymer/metal metamaterials

At present several material combinations are fabricated to cover the demands of ubiquitous applications. In the case of metamaterials, properties are greatly affected not only by composition and shape, but also by interfacial strength and directionality of the patterned substructure. In this work a bottom-up approach is chosen to characterize interface strength, where interfacial interaction is calculated using atomistic models and is translated into a Traction Separation Law (TSL) for interfaces between continua. Subsequently, this is used to study the influence of interfaces on the effective mechanical response of a variety of metamaterials containing copper/epoxy interfaces.
