Trichome entanglement enhances damage tolerance in microstructured biocomposites
Israel Kellersztein, Mathieu Desgranges, Chiara Daraio
Achieving damage tolerance in composite materials remains a central challenge in materials science. Conventional strategies often rely on filler incorporation or chemical modificat…
Controllable Interlocking from Irregularity in Two-Phase Composites
Chelsea Fox, Kyrillos Bastawros, Tommaso Magrini +1
Natural materials often feature a combination of soft and stiff phases, arranged to achieve excellent mechanical properties, such as high strength and toughness. Many natural mater…
Fracture Characterization of Bioinspired Irregular Network Reinforced Composites
Chelsea Fox, Tommaso Magrini, Chiara Daraio
The mechanical behavior of composite materials is significantly influenced by their structure and constituent materials. One emerging class of composite materials is irregular netw…
