Nature’s hierarchical materials
Peter Fratzl,Richard Weinkamer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the basic principles involved in designing hierarchical biological materials, such as cellular and composite architectures, adapative growth and as well as remodeling, are discussed, and examples that are found to utilize these strategies include wood, bone, tendon, and glass sponges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-healing polymeric materials: A review of recent developments
TL;DR: An overview of various self-healing concepts for polymeric materials published over the last 15 years is presented in this article, where Fracture mechanics of polymeric material and traditional methods of repairing damages in these materials are described to provide context for the topic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioactive Glass and Glass-Ceramic Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering
TL;DR: Current knowledge on porous bone tissue engineering scaffolds on the basis of melt-derived bioactive silicate glass compositions and relevant composite structures is reviewed and discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological materials: Functional adaptations and bioinspired designs
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conduct an analysis connecting the structure (nano, micro, meso, and macro) to the mechanical properties important for a specific function, and address how biological systems respond and adapt to external mechanical stimuli.
