Lattice materials are attractive for their light-weight, high specific strength and high specific stiffness. Together with their various thermomechanical properties, they have applications in ultralight structures,as well as in impact/blast systems, heat dissipation media, acoustic isolation, microwave absorption structures and actuation. The topology criterion for stretching-dominated materials makes these lattice materials much stiffer and stronger than foams and honeycombs, especially those of low relative density. The types of lattice materials include the octet-truss lattice material and sandwich panels with differernt lattice cores, as summarized in this paper. The corresponding manufacturing methods： the investment casting method and the perforated wrought metal sheet folding method are compared. The mechanical behaviors of lattice materials are discussed in light of the experimental results, and compared with other cellular materials, especially with respect to the critical effects of imperfections to lattices and foams. The applications in actuating and heat transferring and the numerical modeling are introduced. The authors＇ researches in carbon fiber reinforced lattice materials are specially addressed, including the 3D interlaced carbon fiber reinforced lattice and the interlocked carbon fiber reinforced grids. The recent progresses in stealth carbon fiber reinforced grids are also outlined.
