Compressive stress versus strain curves of a HC-SiC@PyC NWA, b HC-SiC@SiO2 NWA, c HC-SiC@(SiO2/PyC) NWA. Insets show opitcal images of the samples during the compression-recovery process. d Resilience at 80% strain and the maximum of aerogels with different nodes. e Compressive modulus and energy loss coefficiency aerogels with different nodes. f Ashby plot of ultimate stress versus maximum recoverable strain for resilient inorganic aerogels1,11,17,19,23,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44.
