The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The status, challenges, and future of additive manufacturing in engineering (2015, neutral): “The biological composite materials achieve higher toughness without sacrificing stiffness and strength comparing to typical engineering material [273].”
Biomimetic additive manufactured polymer composites for improved impact resistance (2016, background): “For example, the shells of gastropod mollusks are layered composites of three different materials that protect them from predators: the outer proteinic periostracum, inner hard prismatic, and tough inner nacre layers [14,15,18].”
Biological materials: Functional adaptations and bioinspired designs (2012, background): “The prominence of this field can be assessed by the four international conferences on Mechanics and Biomaterials & Tissues (2005, 2007, 2009, 2011), organized by the Journal of Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, by the yearly Biological Materials Science Symposia held at the Annual TMSAIME”
