Fig. 3: Compression experiments of pyrolytic carbon cubic+octet plate-nanolattices with different relative densities (\(\overline {\mathbf{\rho }}\)).
From: Plate-nanolattices at the theoretical limit of stiffness and strength

Stress–strain curves of specimens with \(\bar \rho\) from 57.5 to 25% (a–d) accompanied by front facing in situ SEM images at the indicated strains and comparison to all relative densities, show a transition from brittle fracture to progressive deformation behavior around 37.5% relative density. Scale bars are 5 µm. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
