Structural biomimetics in soft synthetic composite materials: A proof-of-concept alginate-polyamide soft hierarchical composite

Natural materials often consist of hierarchical architectures, which are extremely efficient in mechanical terms. Whereas the structure-function relationship is well-studied in natural hard materials, soft materials are not getting equal attention, despite their high prevalence in nature. These soft...
