Mineralized biological tissues offer insight into how nature has evolved these components to optimize multifunctional purposes. These mineral constituents are weak by themselves, but interact with the organic matrix to produce materials with unexpected mechanical properties. The hierarchical structure of these materials is at the crux of this enhancement. Microstructural features such as organized, layered organic/inorganic structures and the presence of porous and fibrous elements are common in many biological components. The organic and inorganic portions interact at the molecular and micro-levels synergistically to enhance the mechanical function. In this paper, we report on recent progress on studies of the abalone and Araguaia river clam shells, arthropod exoskeletons, antlers, tusks, teeth and bird beaks.
矿化生物组织有助于深入了解自然界如何进化这些成分以实现多功能优化。这些矿物质成分本身较为脆弱，但与有机基质相互作用，从而产生具有意想不到机械性能的材料。这些材料的层次结构是这种增强作用的关键所在。许多生物成分中常见有微观结构特征，如有序的层状有机/无机结构以及多孔和纤维状元素的存在。有机和无机部分在分子和微观层面协同相互作用，以增强机械功能。在本文中，我们报告了有关鲍鱼和阿拉瓜亚河蚌壳、节肢动物外骨骼、鹿角、象牙、牙齿和鸟喙研究的最新进展。
