Fig. 4

A and B Pyrolyzed single traces can be deflected up to 40°, while C and D mesh assemblies can be deflected in positive and negative directions. E and F Two-layer woodpile elastic load response. E A two-layer lattice structure (width 1 cm) supports a 20 g mass and returns to its original position after removal of the weight (inset). F The same woodpile lattice structure can support a 50 g mass with minimal damage after weight removal (inset).
