Bio-Mimetic Composites
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
The properties of bone, as a polymer reinforced with nanometer-sized ribbon-shaped crystals of mineral, are compared with the properties of synthetic polymer composites. Bone does show some superiority to existing composites. The improvements can be attributed to the microstructure. Methods for reproducing this structure in a synthetic material are discussed.
