a Toughness. b Elastic energy under 90% strain. c Resilience from cycle 1 to cycle 5 under 90% strain. Data in (a–c) were shown as mean ± s.d. (n = 5 samples). Statistical analyses were conducted using one-way ANOVA (for a and b) or two-way ANOVA (for c), followed by Tukey’s post hoc test. d–f The simulated stress distributions of NA, MA, and NMA under compressive forces. The distributions are normalized and color-coded using a rainbow scheme across the range of 0−1. g, h Fluid dynamics simulation of blood flow distributions in XStat® (g) and NMA (h). The blood flow distributions are normalized and color-coded using a rainbow scheme. i, j Fluid dynamics simulation of wall shear stress in XStat® (i) and NMA (j). The wall shear stress is normalized and color-coded using a rainbow scheme. NA: nanofiber aerogels, MA: microfiber aerogels, NMA: nano- and microfiber aerogels. Source data are provided as a Source data file.
