“…Significant progress has been made in recent years in producing hierarchical nanostructured carbon forms at various length scales 39 . The atomistic mechanism of deformation in type-II GC, along with the understandings from mechanical metamaterials, suggest that it is feasible to tailor mechanical properties of carbon-based nanoarchitectured materials by controlling the size, concentration and connectivity of the FLS, [60][61][62][63] , metals [64][65][66][67] , glasses (for example, high-density glass for nuclear pacific X-ray plate, Pyrex glass) 64 , plastics (for example, polyamide nylon, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride and polycarbonate) 64 , rubbers (for example, silastic, neoprene and Goodrich D-402) 64,68 , wood (for example, pine and birch) 64 , porous carbon and polymer foams 64 .…”
