• Functional gradients and heterogeneities in biological materials: Design principles, functions, and bioinspired applications (2017, background): “In contrast to the spicules in the skeleton that mainly provide structural rigidity [100,101], these basalia spicules play a role mechanically in securing the sponge to soft sediments.”
• Architectured materials in engineering and biology: fabrication, structure, mechanics and performance (2015, background): “5 times tougher.(62) Crack deflection along weak interfaces therefore appears to be a prominent toughening mechanism in glass sponge spicules, a mechanism which”
