Metal Coordination‐Mediated Functional Grading and Self‐Healing in Mussel Byssus Cuticle

Metal Coordination‐Mediated Functional Grading and Self‐Healing in Mussel Byssus Cuticle

Abstract Metal‐containing polymer networks are ubiquitous in biological systems, and their unique structures enable a variety of fascinating biological behaviors. Cuticle of mussel byssal threads, containing Fe‐catecholate complexes, shows remarkably high hardness, high extensibility, and self‐heali...
