level kagome truss structure fig8 shows a single layer 2 level kagome truss structure fig9 shows a single layer 1 level triangular truss structure fig1 shows a single layer 2 level triangular truss structure fig1 shows a single layer 2 level bone like material fig1 shows a single layer 3 level bone like material fig1 and 14 show multi layer laminates from different types of films fig1 shows an example of a multilayer laminate composed of 2 level hierarchical material layers at 0 and 90 degrees one should note that these films are single layer films but with multiple levels fig1 shows a multilayer laminate composed of 2 and 3 level hierarchical material layers with 0 and 90 degrees hierarchical laminate structures are composites that will increase overall material toughness resistance to cracking and strength relative to single layer hierarchical films the embodiments here stack substantially 2d ehd fp films to produce 3d structures in one embodiment a doctor blade can coat the structure with a suitable epoxy in order to fabricate a 2 ply minimum hierarchical composite structure use of uv or slow cure adhesives allow control of the curing process and minimize the likelihood of failure of a stack up embodiments here produce 2d ehp.
