Kavli Affiliate: Julia R. Greer | Summary:Natural hard composites like human bone possess a combination of strength and toughness that exceeds that of their constituents and of many engineered composites. This augmentation is attributed to their complex hierarchical structure, spanning multiple length scales; in bone, characteristic dimensions range from nanoscale fibrils to microscale lamellae to […]
