A method of forming a composite material includes photo-initiating a polymerization of a monomer in a pattern of interconnected units to form a polymer microlattice. Unpolymerized monomer is removed from the polymer microlattice. The polymer microlattice is coated with a metal. The metal-coated polymer microlattice is dispersed in a polymer matrix.
