Bone is the most implanted tissue after blood. The major solid components of human bone
are collagen (a natural polymer, also found in skin and tendons) and a substituted …

Additive manufacturing (AM) techniques have gained interest in the tissue engineering field,
thanks to their versatility and unique possibilities of producing constructs with complex …

Collagen is a protein material with superior mechanical properties. It consists of collagen
fibrils composed of a staggered array of ultra-long tropocollagen (TC) molecules. Theoretical …

Concrete, bone and shale have one thing in common: their load‐bearing mineral phase is a
hydrated nanocomposite. Yet the link between material genesis, microstructure, and …

This paper reviews the ultrastructure and chemistry of fish bone, with an emphasis on
zooarchaeology and stable isotope analysis. On the basis of the chemical composition of the …

Collagen is a protein material with intriguing mechanical properties—it is highly elastic,
shows large fracture strength and plays a crucial role in making Nature's structural materials …

Nature has achieved materials with properties and mechanisms that go far beyond the
current know-how of the engineering-materials industry. The remarkable efficiency of …

In this review article, the state-of-the-art of calcium orthophosphate-based biocomposites
and hybrid biomaterials suitable for biomedical applications is presented. This subject …

We report studies of the mechanical properties of tropocollagen molecules under different
types of mechanical loading including tension, compression, shear, and bending. Our …

Bone materials are characterized by an astonishing variability and diversity. Still, because of
'architectural constraints' due to once chosen material constituents and their physical …
