a Flexural strength of composites and Ref. at 7 days and 28 days. Error bars represent the standard deviation based on three specimens for flexural strength. b Flexural strength-strain curve of composites. c Compressive strength of composites and Ref. at 7 days and 28 days. Error bars represent the standard deviation based on six specimens for compressive strength. d, e Compressive strength-strain curve of composites. f Schematic illustration of porous structure preventing the crack propagation.
