FRP, a composite material composed of glass fibers embedded in a polymer matrix, boasts an array of advantageous properties. Its lightweight nature makes it easier to transport and install, reducing overall construction time and labor costs. Despite its lightness, FRP possesses exceptional strength and durability, capable of withstanding harsh weather conditions, corrosion, and even seismic activities, making it ideal for regions prone to natural disasters.

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.
