Cybermaterials: materials by design and accelerated insertion of materials

Cybermaterials innovation entails an integration of Materials by Design and accelerated insertion of materials(AIM),which transfers studio ideation into industrial manufacturing.By assembling a hierarchical architecture of integrated computational materials design(ICMD)based on materials genomic fundamental databases,the ICMD mechanistic design models accelerate innovation.We here review progress in the development of linkage models of the process-structure–property-performance paradigm,as well as related design accelerating tools.Extending the materials development capability based on phase-level structural control requires more fundamental investment at the level of the Materials Genome,with focus on improving applicable parametric design models and constructing high-quality databases.Future opportunities in materials genomic research serving both Materials by Design and AIM are addressed.
