a Tensile stress-strain curves of ANFs/Mica@TiO2 composites via different preparation methods. b, c Ultimate strength, maximum Young’s modulus (b) and strain at break, work of toughness (c) obtained by uniaxial tensile tests. d Crack propagation behaviors of AMTA observed from FESEM image and EDS elemental maps of C, Si, and Ti, showing long-range crack deflection and branching, as well as strong plastic deformation and curling of dendritic ANFs adhesives. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
