Nanoarchitected Tough Biological Composites from Assembled Chitinous Scaffolds

Wei Huang et al.

Summary: Organisms have evolved tough structures over millions of years to enhance their competitiveness, reproductive ability, and resistance to environmental pressures. These structures display multiscale architectures and superior mechanical properties, and are achieved through organic-inorganic interactions and controlled synthesis. Applying these biological structures in engineering may have significant applications.
