Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201400249-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>The synthesis of ultralow‐density (&gt;5 mg/cm³) bulk materials</bold> with interconnected nanotubular morphology and deterministic, fully tunable feature size, composition, and density is presented. A thin‐walled nanotubular design realized by employing templating based on atomic layer deposition makes the material about 10 times stronger and stiffer than aerogels of the same density. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pght92sqdg" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
