Our work pursues the development of micromechanics models to describe the deformation mechanisms and damage tolerance in network materials. The group uses a range of techniques to study in-situ mechanical deformations, including Raman spectroscopy, 2D WAXS-SAXS and electron microscopy. These empirical data has so far been successfully combined with continuum mechanics models to describe the tensile properties of aligned nanostructured yarns. A distinctive feature of the group\u2019s work is the ability to study from stress transfer in individual nanoparticles through nanomechanical testing, to the properties of large structural composites (Figure 3).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1d79325 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1d79325\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f823166\" data-id=\"f823166\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ccc00a5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ccc00a5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"327\" height=\"746\" src=\"https:\/\/www.materials.imdea.org\/groups\/mng\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture6.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-21181\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.materials.imdea.org\/groups\/mng\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture6.jpg 327w, https:\/\/www.materials.imdea.org\/groups\/mng\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture6-132x300.jpg 132w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 327px) 100vw, 327px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7d08d3a\" data-id=\"7d08d3a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54254c6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"54254c6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"491\" src=\"https:\/\/www.materials.imdea.org\/groups\/mng\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture5-768x491.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-21180\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.materials.imdea.org\/groups\/mng\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture5-768x491.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.materials.imdea.org\/groups\/mng\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture5-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.materials.imdea.org\/groups\/mng\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture5-1024x655.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.materials.imdea.org\/groups\/mng\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture5.jpg 1223w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-69bdc608 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"69bdc608\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-23156433\" data-id=\"23156433\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d12e449 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d12e449\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Figure 3.
