While interesting, the article keeps mentioning display screens on phones as a potential application area. I feel like tensile strength is not a key issue in display materials, so much as resistance to scratching, whick is why we use glass lined composites today.

The thermal insulation on a translucent, load bearing material is certainly interesting as well as the developments in making the material environmentally friendly to produce.
