Pentamode materials are special solid materials mimicking complex flfluid
which could achieve desired mechanical properties through microstructure design of conventional solids. Tunable mechanical properties and solid merit endow pentamode materials with prospective application in broadband underwater acoustic wave manipulation such as acoustic cloaking and focusing
which stimulates an intense research activity recently. In this review
basic concept of pentamode materials and the status of microstructure design were introduced firstly
then the corresponding devices fabrication and experimental verifification based on conventional manufacturing techniques and additive manufacturing are illustrated elaboratively
and the technical demanding and trending is proposed fifinally.
