Abstract
A microstructured reconfigurable or morphing composite material with controlled anisotropic deformation properties. The composite material provides highly controlled deformation and stiffness properties. Microscopic three dimensional structures are included in the composite material to control its deformation kinematics and stiffness properties. The composite material has highly segregated in-plane and out-of-plane stiffness properties.
