One dimensional "sonic vacuum" type phononic crystals were assembled from a
chain of Teflon spheres with different diameters in a Teflon holder. It was
demonstrated for the first time that this polymer-based "sonic vacuum", with
exceptionally low elastic modulus of particles, supports propagation of
strongly nonlinear solitary waves with a very low speed.
