Heterostructured materials

Heterostructured materials Heterostructured (HS) materials are a new class of materials that are composed of heterogeneous zones with dramatically different (>100 %) mechanical or physical properties. The interactive coupling between these heterogeneous zones produces a synergistic effect in which the integrated property exceeds the prediction by the rule-of-mixtures. HS materials possess superior mechanical or physical properties that are not achievable by their conventional homogenous counter...
