AB  - Multifunctional structural materials offer compelling opportunities to realize highly efficient products. However, the  need to fulfil  disparate  functions generates intrinsically conflicting physical property demands. One attractive strategy is to form a bi-continuous architecture of two disparate phases, each addressing a distinct physical  property.  For example, structural polymer  electrolytes  combine  rigid  and  ion-conducting  phases  to  deliver  the  required mechanical and electrochemical performance. Here, we present a general methodology, based on  topology  optimization,  to  identify  optimal  microstructures  for  particular  design considerations. The numerical predictions have been successfully validated by experiments using  3D  printed  specimens.  These  architectures  are  directly  relevant  to  multifunctional structural  composites  whilst  the  methodology  can  easily  be  extended  to  identify  optimal microstructural designs for other multifunctional material embodiments.
