Abstract: Natural structural materials featuring fine hierarchical architectures often display remarkable mechanical properties. To inherit the microstructures of biological materials, nickel-plated luffa sponges were fabricated through electrochemical deposition using natural luffa sponges as templates. Four groups… read more here.
