Biomimetic Architectured Graphene Aerogel with Exceptional Strength and Resilience
Versatile, light-weight materials that are both strong and resilient are crucial for the development of flexible electronics, such as bendable tablets and wearable sensors. Aerogels are good candidates for such applications, but until now, it’s been difficult to make them with both properties. Now, researchers report in ACS Nano that mimicking the structure of the “powdery alligator-flag” plant has enabled them to make a graphene-based aerogel that meets these needs.
Aerogels are light, porous materials that are already used in many applications, such as pollution control and insulation...
