Nanograin-glass dual-phasic, elasto-flexible, fatigue-tolerant, and heat-insulating ceramic sponges at large scales

Lei Li et al.

Summary: We have successfully developed a ceramic sponge material that is ultra-light, elasto-flexible, thermally insulating, and can fully recover from large deformation with a near-zero Poisson's ratio. These spongy materials also possess superb fatigue resistance and temperature-invariant superelasticity, providing new solutions for numerous extreme applications and insights into the origin of flexibility in polycrystalline ceramics.
