The crustacean exoskeleton as an example of a structurally and mechanically graded biological nanocomposite material
This is an experimental study on the mechanical and structural gradients through the cuticle of Homarus americanus (American lobster). The exocuticle (outer layer) is characterized by a very fine… Expand
