(a) Compressive stress–strain curve of the BC aerogel at a set strain of 80%. (b) Cyclic stress–strain curves of the p-BC aerogel at a maximum strain of 80%, showing a very small permanent deformation after 100 compression cycles. The insets in (a) and (b) show the sequential photographs of the BC and p-BC aerogels during the compression process, illustrating their different mechanical properties. (c) Scanning electron microscopy image of the fracture surface of the typical p-BC/PDMS composite. The inset shows the photograph of a bent composite, showing its flexibility. (d) Electrical conductivity of p-BC/PDMS composites as a function of the pyrolysis temperature.
