Mechanical stability

This article is a stub. It needs to be expanded.

Mechanical stability is typically the weakest requirement of the three stabilities:
chemical stability, thermal stability, and mechanical stability.
That is: Most materials that are quite thermally stable are also decently mechanically stable.

Piezochemical mechanosynthesis makes materials
with especially good mechanical stability accessible.
See: Base materials with high potential

With today's thermodynamic means of production only a few similar materials
can be produced, and only with limited control. In particular: Nanotubes.
