Fish bone chemistry and ultrastructure: implications for taphonomy and stable isotope analysis (2011, background): “It has been suggested that the majority of the bioapatite crystals in bone occur within collagen fibrils (Jäger and Fratzl, 2000; Weiner and Traub, 1986; Weiner et al., 1999), while others (Fritsch and Hellmich, 2007; Hellmich and Ulm, 2002; Pidaparti et al., 1996; Sasaki et al., 2002) suggest that…”
Molecular nanomechanics of nascent bone: fibrillar toughening by mineralization (2007, background): “While the structures at scales larger then MCFs vary for different bone types, mineralized collagen fibrils are highly conserved, nanostructural primary building blocks of bone that are found universally [3] [4] [5] [6] [7].”
Nature’s hierarchical materials (2007, background): “In order to explore the possibilities of combining stiffness and toughness in composites, a very simple generic model is discussed in the following, which has been originally introduced to describe the mechanical behavior of mineralized collagen fibrils [264] and generalized later to describe a vari”
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.”
Designing nacre-like materials for simultaneous stiffness, strength and toughness: Optimum materials, composition, microstructure and size (2014, methodology): “Relatively simple twodimensional theoretical models are available to predict basic properties such as stiffness (Jager and Fratzl, 2000; Kotha et al., 2001; Bar-On and Wagner, 2013), strength (Jackson et al., 1988; Gao, 2006) and toughness (Espinosa et al., 2009; Gao, 2006; Okumura and de Gennes,…”
