Nanostructural Organization of Naturally Occurring Composites—Part II: Silica-Chitin-Based Biocomposites

Nanostructural Organization of Naturally Occurring Composites—Part II: Silica-Chitin-Based Biocomposites

Investigations of the micro- and nanostructures and chemical composition of the sponge skeletons as examples for natural structural biocomposites are of fundamental scientific relevance. Recently, we show that some demosponges (Verongula gigantea, Aplysina sp.) and glass sponges (Farrea occa, Euplec...
