macro porous structures (MPS) to create self-assembled, lightweight, and rigid systems. The project delves into material research, particularly the investigation of macro porous structures like PU foam, understanding their capillarity to manipulate structural characteristics. The study progresses into examining natural phase-changing materials (PCM), integrating them into the MPS during the liquid state, and incorporating graphene to control thermal and mechanical properties.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-68cad8e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"68cad8e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6584201\" data-id=\"6584201\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-996e1c4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"996e1c4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iaacblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/dmfinalpresentation_pagina_10.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1852931 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1852931\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><i>Objective: Investigate the potential application of responsive macro porous structures for self-assembled, lightweight, and rigid systems, challenging traditional fabrication methods, to provide insight into a new era of construction and manufacturing techniques.<\/i><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5b6cc6e\" data-id=\"5b6cc6e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3bc9841 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3bc9841\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iaacblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/dmfinalpresentation_pagina_12.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-84a68f5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"84a68f5\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e2364a4\" data-id=\"e2364a4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e86498 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7e86498\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The aim is to develop a versatile material that compresses and expands while maintaining structural integrity, paving the way for innovative architectural systems that challenge conventional fabrication methods.
