Comment on 10x Stronger Than Kevlar: Amorphous Silicon Carbide Could Revolutionize Material Science
AnonStoleMyPants@sopuli.xyz 10 months agoInteresting material considering that one issue with graphene and carbon nanotubes etc tends to be that small defects in the crystal lattice majorly affect its mechanical properties. And it is very difficult to manufacture things with no defects. This being an amorphous material could mean that it is much more robust to local defects. Though I only skimmed the article.

We might see improvement on some deposition materials after the recent discovery on dolomite crystal formation.
