3D Printed hierarchical structures with enhanced mechanical properties$25.0Kvalue2020start2022end

Even conceptually simple problems can be difficult to solve. To motivate this project, consider a system of particles of type A and type B that are thoroughly mixed in a closed box. They are moving around at a rate dictated by the temperature (ie, diffusion). At some time, the type A particles start to bond together to form chains (ie, polymers). The question is: what does the system look like after a long time? It turns out that there are several answers to this question. If the particles move around a rate much faster than the polymerization rate, then as the polymers of type A are formed
