The briefing
A Nature study examined the quasi‑static flexural behavior of sewn multilayer insulation blankets made of aluminized BoPET shields and polyester spacers across 2 to 24 layers. Researchers found layer count dominates stiffness response, sewing parameters modulate bending length and compaction, and a piecewise power‑law better fits scaling behavior than single‑slope models.
