An artful microstructure in nacre: Superior resistance to fatigue deformation

H. M. Ji et al.

Summary: The aim of this study was to identify the fatigue resistance of nacre. The Pinctada maxima shell has nacreous structures with brick-like (BR) and convex lens-like (CO) platelets in the outer and inner layers, respectively. The thickest CO layer at the margin exhibits the best fatigue resistance due to its ability to effectively resist interfacial separation under cyclic loads. The special convex lens-like shape, denser nano-asperities, and larger mineral bridges effectively arrest crack propagation, contributing to the unique mechanical performance of the CO layer.

Simultaneously enhancing strength and fracture toughness of bulk metallic glass composites containing SiC scaffolds with nacre-like lamellar architectures

Huiming Zhang et al.

Summary: In this study, bulk-metallic glass (BMG) composites reinforced with nacre-like lamellar silicon carbide (SiC) were successfully fabricated using an ice-templating technique. The composites exhibited high strength, fracture toughness, and an exceptional increasing R-curve behavior. The interfacial reaction between the BMG and SiC was found to depend on the content of the Zr element in BMG-forming melts, allowing for the regulation of the composites' strength and fracture toughness by tuning the layer thickness of the interfacial reaction.

A high-strength and high-toughness nacreous structure in a deep-sea Nautilus shell: Critical role of platelet geometry and organic matrix

S. M. Liang et al.

Summary: The study investigated the mechanical behavior of nacre in Nautilus and Cristaria plicata shells under various tests, finding that the nacre in Nautilus shells exhibited higher strength and toughness due to larger platelet aspect ratio and greater interfacial shear resistance. The findings suggest that the organic matrix adhesion and friction caused by nano-asperities on platelet surfaces contribute to the higher interfacial resistance in Nautilus shells. This research provides insights for designing strong and tough materials inspired by nacre for various applications.
