Ultralight material is defined by its cellular arrangement and its stiffness and strength that make up its solid constituent.
Plywood faced sandwiches are thermal insulators made with low density fiber boards with an ultralight foam interior.
Scientists at MIT have been working to make a material that is as strong as steel but has the density of a plastic bag.
[5] Ultralight material is constantly subjected to compression and accidental physical damage or abuse during practical applications.
Ultralight materials are capable of healing because of pH induced coordination between iron and catecholic compounds.
The design of the high performing lattices mean that the individual struts making up the materials do not bend.
