TLDR
Measurement of the modulus of elasticity of nail by two different techniques gives values similar to that of hair and suggests that connections between cells contribute to the strength of nail tissue.About:

Keratin: Structure, mechanical properties, occurrence in biological organisms, and efforts at bioinspiration
TL;DR: Keratin can be classified as α- and β-types as discussed by the authors, and α-types have a characteristic filament-matrix structure: 7nm diameter intermediate filaments for α-keratin, and 3nm diameter filament for β-kkeratin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and biochemistry of mammalian hard keratin.
TL;DR: The structure and biological formation of hard alpha-keratin are drawn together and keratinized fibres shows considerable complexity and diversity in the structural arrangement of IFs and matrix within cortical cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nail biology and nail science
TL;DR: The nail plate is the permanent product of the nail matrix and depends on the integrity of several components: the surrounding tissues or perionychium and the bony phalanx that are contributing to the nail apparatus or nail unit.

Mechanical Properties of Tissue
TL;DR: The ultimate tensile strength of soft tissue is more amenable to simple numeric evaluation than is the general nonlinear stress–strain relationship.
Journal ArticleDOI
FT-Raman spectroscopic study of keratotic materials: horn, hoof and tortoiseshell
TL;DR: The FT-Raman spectral differences particularly between the horn and hoof specimens are very useful for the non-destructive characterisation of artefacts and provides a novel application of the technique.

The measurement of molecular orientation in fibers by acoustic methods
TL;DR: In this article, the sound velocity in polymeric fibers or film strips is related to a quantitative measure of molecular orientation in the sample, and it is shown that this measure of orientation can be calculated from two experimental quantities: the sound velocities in an oriented specimen and the velocity in a randomly oriented sample.

X-ray studies of the distribution of protein chain types in the vertebrate epidermis
TL;DR: In regions of the epidermis of reptiles and birds where strength and flexibility are required the α-protein structure is stongly predominant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microscopic studies of fetal and mature nail and surrounding soft tissue.
TL;DR: KNOWLEDGE of nail disease is indeed limited; only a few isolated reports are available concerning the correlative histology of conditions that affect the nails, and the value of these reports is lessened by the lack of adequate histologic studies of the normal nail.
