Innovation in the field of nanotechnology has promoted the development of artificially designed microstructures and nanostructures with controlled properties which can be defineded controlled microstructural architectures (CMAs).One of the challenges in this field is to realize the architectures with growing structural complexity and multilevel hierarchy.
In our group, we focus on the research studies of Controlled Microstructural Architectures based on Laser 3D printing.
