The bCA exhibits recoverable tensile deformation in four orders of hierarchy. a–c In situ SEM tracking on structural evolution of each orders structure in one cycle. a The length (140 μm, labeled by δ1) was stretched to 770 μm (δ1′) and recovered to 155 μm. b The length of a cell (9.7μm, δ2) was stretched to 17.6 μm (δ2′) and recovered to 10.1 μm. d In situ TEM observation of a binary laminate in one stretching-retraction cycle. Scale bars, 1 mm (a), 30 μm (b), 10 μm (c), and 100 nm (d)
