1. A three-dimensional ordered ceramic microstructure comprising:

  • a base structure comprising;

    a plurality of first truss elements defined by a plurality of first self-propagating polymer waveguides and extending along a first direction;

    a plurality of second truss elements defined by a plurality of second self-propagating polymer waveguides and extending along a second direction; and

    a plurality of third truss elements defined by a plurality of third self-propagating polymer waveguides and extending along a third direction,wherein the first, second, and third truss elements interpenetrate each other at a plurality of nodes to form a continuous material, andwherein the base structure is self-supporting; and

    one or more ceramic layers coating a surface of at least one truss element of the first truss elements, the second truss elements, or the third truss elements.
