Some of them have been showing exceptional mechanical properties that can compete or even surpass their synthetic competitors. The following sections plan to give a concise overview of some of these materials and their mechanical properties.engCellular materialMechanical propertiesNatural materialsRecyclable materialSustainable materialjournal article10.1016/B978-0-12-803581-8.04056-X
