The 1/2” square opening of Micro-Mesh molded FRP gratings is ADA conforming and makes them popular for applications in the public way. Available in 1” or 1-1/2” depths, Micro-Mesh has bi-directional strength which facilitates efficient layout and fabrication.

Strong, Lightweight and Corrosion-Resistant
Molded FRP Grating has the strength of steel, but it won’t corrode like steel can.

In recent decades, carbon aerogels have been widely explored by using graphitic carbons and soft carbons, which show advantages in superelasticity. These elastic aerogels usually have delicate microstructures with good fatigue resistance but ultralow strength. Hard carbons show great advantages in mechanical strength and structural stability due to the sp3 C-induced turbostratic “house-of-cards” structure. However, the stiffness and fragility clearly get in the way of achieving superelasticity with hard carbons. Up to now, it is still a challenge to fabricate superelastic hard carbon-based aerogels.
