The Achilles tendon enthesis rebuilds its mineralization front on reloading but retains a nanoscale imprint of unloading
M. L. Stammer, C. Camy, M. Frewein +16
The enthesis is a graded fibrocartilaginous interface that transfers load between tendon and bone, yet the nanoscale mechanisms stabilizing its mineralization front remain unclear.…
Structural gradients and strain partitioning across the mouse Achilles tendon enthesis revealed by in situ X-ray scattering
Isabella Silva Barreto, Moritz L. Stammer, Moritz P. K. Frewein +8
The enthesis is the insertion site of tendon into bone and exhibits a high mechanical durability despite the large mismatch in material properties between the two tissues. This dur…
Non-destructive 3D characterization of microtextured regions in the bulk of Ti-6Al-4V alloy
Mads Carlsen, Xiaohan Zeng, Haixing Fang +4
In this study we present spatially resolved texture and orientation maps from a cube-shaped sample of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, reconstructed by means of texture tomography (TT). Unlike gra…
The crystalline properties of silica biomorphs vary within and between morphologies
Moritz P. K. Frewein, Britta Maier, Moritz L. Stammer +8
Silica-witherite biomorphs are a class of emergent materials, i.e. composite microstructures made of nanometric barium carbonate surrounded by amorphous silica. They form via co-pr…
