• Nature’s hierarchical materials (2007, background): “Most interestingly, Nature seems to have evolved special types of amphiphilic molecules for this type of function [231].”
• Influence of drying on the mechanical behaviour of flax fibres and their unidirectional composites (2012, background): “A stick–slip (velcro) mechanism, described in detail for wood [3,46], allows a rearrangement of the deformable network, so that loads can be transferred between the polysaccharide matrix and the mesofibrils [5].”
• Comparison of the characteristics of cellulose microfibril aggregates isolated from fiber and parenchyma cells of Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) (2010, background): “Such structural features in wood cell walls are analogous to the requirements for composites to be stiff and tough ( Fratzl et al. 2004 ); consequently, stress can transfer efficiently from the matrix to the microfibril aggregates.”
• Application of Fracture Mechanics Concepts to Hierarchical Biomechanics of Bone and Bone-like Materials (2006, methodology): “The flaw tolerance solutions for the strip problems in Figure 3(d) and Figure 3(e) have been studied by Gao and Chen (2005) using Griffith and Dugdale models.”
• The crustacean exoskeleton as an example of a structurally and mechanically graded biological nanocomposite material (2005, background): “[45–48] discussed the role of minerals for the stiffness of biological composites (using mostly the example of bone) in terms of a model where the microstructure consists of staggered mineral bricks such as the mineral platelet arrangement in collagen fibrils.”
