• Laboratory of Explosion Science and Technology, Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing 100081, China 10.3762/bjnano.10.154 Abstract The excellent mechanical properties of graphyne (GY) have made it an appealing candidate in the field of impact protection. We assessed the deformation mechanisms of

• : graphyne; in silico studies; stress wave propagation; supersonic-velocity impact; Introduction Owing to its versatile flexibility, carbon is able to form three different hybridization states namely sp, sp2 and sp3, which yields many kinds of carbon allotropes. Graphite and diamond are the two common

• focused on the synthesis and structural investigation of different CAWs, mixed sp–sp2 systems are attracting the attention of the carbon community as hypothetical, novel, hybrid carbon allotropes [85]. Among possible sp–sp2 hybrids theoretically predicted, we mention graphyne systems, as outlined by
