Tough Nature-Inspired Helicoidal Composites with Printing-Induced Voids

Tough Nature-Inspired Helicoidal Composites with Printing-Induced Voids

Summary: Exoskeletons of Odontodactylus japonicas, the “smasher-type” mantis shrimp, feature a raptorial appendage comprising a Bouligand architecture of chitin nanofibrils with newly observed voids or defects between the polysaccharide α-chitin and protein interfaces. Here, we use a continuous-fibe...
