Abstract
Cortical bone is a tough biological material composed of tube-like osteons embedded in the organic matrix surrounded by weak interfaces known as cement lines. The cement lines provide a microstructurally preferable crack path, hence triggering in-plane crack deflection around osteons due to cement line-crack interaction. Inspired by this toughening mechanism and facilitated by a hybrid (3D-printing/casting) process, the study engineers architected tubular cement-based materials with the stepwise cracking toughening mechanism, that enables a non-brittle fracture. Using experimental and theoretical approaches, the study demonstrates the competition between tube size and shape on stress intensity factor from which engineering stepwise cracking can emerge. Two competing mechanisms, both positively and negatively affected by the growing tube size, arise to significantly enhance the overall fracture toughness by up to 5.6-fold compared to the monolithic brittle counterpart without sacrificing the specific strength. This is enabled by crack-tube interaction and engineering the tube size, shape, and orientation, which promotes rising resistance-curves (R-curve). "Disorder" curves and statistical mechanics parameters are proposed for the first time to quantitatively characterize the degree of disorder for describing the representation of the architected arrangement of materials in lieu of otherwise inadequate "periodicity" classification and misperceived disorder parameters (perturbation and Voronoi tessellation methods).

Abstract
Moisture usually deteriorates polymers' mechanical performance owing to its plasticizing effect, causing side effects in their practical load-bearing applications. Herein, a simple binary ionogel consisting of an amphiphilic polymer network and a hydrophobic ionic liquid (IL) is developed with remarkable stiffening effect after moisture absorption, demonstrating a complete contrast to water-induced softening effect of most polymer materials. Such a moisture-induced stiffening behavior is induced by phase separation after hydration of this binary ionogel. Specifically, it is revealed that hydrogen (H)-bonding structures play a dominant role in the humidity-responsive behavior of the ionogel, where water will preferentially interact with polymer chains through H-bonding and break the polymer-IL H-bonds, thus leading to phase separation structures with modulus boosting. This work may provide a facile and effective molecular engineering route to construct mechanically adaptive polymers with water-induced dramatic stiffening for diverse applications.

Abstract
Biological strong and tough materials have been providing original structural designs for developing bioinspired high-performance composites. However, new synergistic strengthening and toughening mechanisms from bioinspired structures remain yet to be explored and employed to upgrade current carbon material reinforced polymer composites, which are keystone to various modern industries. In this work, from bamboo, the featured cell face-bridging fibers, are abstracted and embedded in a cellular network structure, and develop an epoxy resin/carbon composite featuring biomimetic architecture through a fabrication approach integrating freeze casting, carbonization, and resin infusion with carbon fibers (CFs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Results show that this bamboo-inspired crack-face bridging fiber reinforced composite simultaneously possesses a high strength (430.8 MPa) and an impressive toughness (8.3 MPa m1/2 ), which surpass those of most resin-based nanocomposites reported in the literature. Experiments and multiscale simulation models reveal novel synergistic strengthening and toughening mechanisms arising from the 2D faces that bridge the CFs: sustaining and transferring loads to enhance the overall load-bearing ability and furthermore, incorporating CNTs pullout that resembles the intrinsic toughening at the molecular to nanoscale and strain delocalization, crack branching, and crack deflection as the extrinsic toughening at the microscale. These constitute a new effective and efficient strategy to develop simultaneously strong and tough composites through abstracting and implenting novel bioinspired structures, which contributes to addressing the long-standingly challenging attainment of both high strength and toughness for advanced structural materials.

Abstract
The eXtended finite element method (XFEM) is a powerful tool for structural mechanics, assisting engineers and designers in understanding how a material architecture responds to stresses and consequently assisting the creation of mechanically improved structures. The XFEM method has unraveled the extraordinary relationships between material topology and fracture behavior in biological and engineered materials, enhancing peculiar fracture toughening mechanisms, such as crack deflection and arrest. Despite its extensive use, a detailed revision of case studies involving XFEM with a focus on the applications rather than the method of numerical modeling is in great need. In this review, XFEM is introduced and briefly compared to other computational fracture models such as the contour integral method, virtual crack closing technique, cohesive zone model, and phase-field model, highlighting the pros and cons of the methods (e.g., numerical convergence, commercial software implementation, pre-set of crack parameters, and calculation speed). The use of XFEM in material design is demonstrated and discussed, focusing on presenting the current research on composites and biological and bioinspired materials, but also briefly introducing its application to other fields. This review concludes with a discussion of the XFEM drawbacks and provides an overview of the future perspectives of this method in applied material science research, such as the merging of XFEM and artificial intelligence techniques.

Abstract
It is known that the geometric structures of bones are very complex. This has made researchers unable to model them with the continuum approach and suffice to model them with simulation or experimental tests. Undoubtedly, provide a simple and accurate continuum model for studying bones is always desirable. In this article, as the first serious endeavour, a suggested beam model is investigated to see whether it is suitable for modelling femur bones or not. If this model gives an acceptable answer, it can be a link to the continuum theories for beams. In other words, the approximated beam model can be formulated with continuum approach to study femur bone. For feasibility study of the approximated model for femur bones, both static and dynamic analysis of them are investigated and compared. It is found that in most cases for vibration analysis, the suggested model has acceptable results but in static analysis, the mean difference between the results is about 16%. This research is hoped to be the first serious step in this category.

Chemo-mechanical-microstructural coupling in the tarsus exoskeleton of the scorpion Scorpio palmatus. Acta Biomater 2023; 160:176-186. [PMID: 36706852 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.01.038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Revised: 01/07/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
The multiscale structure of biomaterials enables their exceptional mechanical robustness, yet the impact of each constituent at their relevant length scale remains elusive. We used SAXD analysis to expose the intact chitin-fiber architecture within the exoskeleton on a scorpion's claw, revealing varying orientations, including Bouligand and unidirectional regions different from other arthropod species. We uncovered the contribution of individual components' constituent behavior to its mechanical properties from the micro- to the nanoscale. At the microscale, in-situ micromechanical experiments were used to determine site-specific stiffness, strength, and failure of the biocomposite due to fiber orientation, while metal-crosslinking of proteins is characterized via fluorescence maps. At the constituent level, combined with FEA simulations, we uncovered the behavior of fiber-matrix deformation with fiber diameter <53.7 nm and protein modulus in the range 1.4-11 MPa. The unveiled microstructure-mechanics relationship sheds light on the evolved structural functionalities and constituents' interactions within the scorpion cuticle. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The pincer exoskeleton is a fundamental part of the scorpion's body due to its multifunctionality. Precise structural and compositional analysis within the hierarchy is paramount to understand the fundamentals of the mechanical properties of the composite exoskeleton. Here, we expose the intact chitin-fiber architecture of the pincer exoskeleton using nondestructive analysis. In-situ mechanical characterization was performed at nanometer levels within the exoskeleton hierarchy, which complemented with simulations, uncovered the elastic modulus of the protein matrix. Our findings confirm the presence and distribution of metal ions and their role as reinforcements in the protein matrix via ligand coordinate bonds. In future work, these findings can be of great potential to inspire the design of composite materials.

Abstract
Self-healing materials integrated with robust mechanical property and fascinating functions synchronously hold great prospects in many applications, but it still remains a grand challenge. Here, a bottom-up assembly method of preparing borate dynamic nanostructures (BDN) with controllable morphologies and interfacial crosslinks is proposed, from which a robust self-healing elastomer is fabricated. The BDN is optimized to construct dense and strong interfacial boronic easter crosslinks, endowing the elastomer with outstanding stretchability (2050%), high strength (17.9 MPa) as well as healing efficiency (77.1%). Moreover, the elastomer also exhibits pH stimulus-responsive fluorescence property and excellent functional repairability, enabling its potential application in intelligent material fields such as information encoding and encryption. This study demonstrates a general approach to produce self-healable functional materials with robust mechanical properties, and defines a rich platform for exploring various functional nanostructured materials.

Acta Biomater 2022; 142:1-13. [PMID: 35202855 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.02.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2021] [Revised: 01/14/2022] [Accepted: 02/17/2022] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
Much debate still revolves around bone architecture, especially at the nano- and microscale. Bone is a remarkable material where high strength and toughness coexist thanks to an optimized composition of mineral and protein and their hierarchical organization across several distinct length scales. At the nanoscale, mineralized collagen fibrils act as building block units. Despite their key role in biological and mechanical functions, the mechanisms of collagen mineralization and the precise arrangement of the organic and inorganic constituents in the fibrils remains not fully elucidated. Advances in three-dimensional (3D) characterization of mineralized bone tissue by focused ion beam-scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) revealed mineral-rich regions geometrically approximated as prolate ellipsoids, much larger than single collagen fibrils. These structures have yet to become prominently recognized, studied, or adopted into biomechanical models of bone. However, they closely resemble the circular to elliptical features previously identified by scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) in two-dimensions (2D). Herein, we review the presence of mineral ellipsoids in bone as observed with electron-based imaging techniques in both 2D and 3D with particular focus on different species, anatomical locations, and in proximity to natural and synthetic biomaterial interfaces. This review reveals that mineral ellipsoids are a ubiquitous structure in all the bones and bone-implant interfaces analyzed. This largely overlooked hierarchical level is expected to bring different perspectives to our understanding of bone mineralization and mechanical properties, in turn shedding light on structure-function relationships in bone. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In bone, the hierarchical organization of organic (mainly collagen type I) and inorganic (calcium-phosphate mineral) components across several length scales contributes to a unique combination of strength and toughness. However, aspects related to the collagen-mineral organization and to mineralization mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we review the presence of mineral prolate ellipsoids across a variety of species, anatomical locations, and interfaces, both natural and with synthetic biomaterials. These mineral ellipsoids represent a largely unstudied feature in the organization of bone at the mesoscale, i.e., at a level connecting nano- and microscale. Thorough understanding of their origin, development, and structure can provide valuable insights into bone architecture and mineralization, assisting the treatment of bone diseases and the design of bio-inspired materials.

Abstract
The solutions provided through natural evolution of living creatures serve as an ingenious source of inspiration for many technological and applicative fields. Along these lines, bone-inspired concepts lead to fascinating advances in product design, architecture and garments, thanks to the bone’s exceptional combination of strength, toughness and lightness. Structural applications are inspired by the bone’s ability to resist fracture under a large spectrum of forces, while the high surface area and pore connectivity of bone architecture present exciting opportunities from an aesthetic point of view. Behind these inspirations, a disruptive common belief emerges: “down to the bone”, a journey in search of equality, universality and substantiality. Herein, we explore the current state of the art in bone-inspired applications in these fields, considering the two major categories of structural and aesthetic inspirations and discussing further technological developments.

Abstract
Learning from Nature and leveraging 3D printing, mechanical testing, and numerical modeling, this study aims to provide a deeper understanding of the structure-property relationship of crystal-lattice-inspired materials, starting from the study of single unit cells inspired by the cubic Bravais crystal lattices. In particular, here we study the simple cubic (SC), body-centered cubic (BCC), and face-centered cubic (FCC) lattices. Mechanical testing of 3D-printed structures is used to investigate the influence of different printing parameters. Numerical models, validated based on experimental testing carried out on single unit cells and embedding manufacturing-induced defects, are used to derive the scaling laws for each studied topology, thus providing guidelines for materials selection and design, and the basis for future homogenization and optimization studies. We observe no clear effect of the layer thickness on the mechanical properties of both bulk material and lattice structures. Instead, the printing direction effect, negligible in solid samples, becomes relevant in lattice structures, yielding different stiffnesses of struts and nodes. This phenomenon is accounted for in the proposed simulation framework. The numerical models of large arrays, used to define the scaling laws, suggest that the chosen topologies have a mainly stretching-dominated behavior-a hallmark of structurally efficient structures-where the modulus scales linearly with the relative density. By looking ahead, mimicking the characteristic microscale structure of crystalline materials will allow replicating the typical behavior of crystals at a larger scale, combining the hardening traits of metallurgy with the characteristic behavior of polymers and the advantage of lightweight architected structures, leading to novel materials with multiple functions.

Abstract
Phosphate glasses of calcium oxide have been well proved materials for various bio bones and dental implants. However, still there is a lot of scope and demand to produce efficient elastic bio implants and resource. In view of this, ZrxCa30-xP70 phosphate materials are prepared by using melt quenching method. Bio, physical, thermoluminescence and elastic techniques are used to characterize the samples. Additionally, simulated body fluid was prepared and it is used especially for bio techniques. Further, the glasses are taken for different dose (~0, 10, 20 & 50 kGy) of gamma irradiation around half an hour. And again similar techniques are used to characterize the samples. All the findings from bio, physical, thermoluminescence and elastic characterization results are analysed and took for better comparison with previous studies to develop various bio bone (or) bio dental resource. Structural reports suggests that the ZrxCa30-xP70 materials were glassy before immersion in SBF solution and immersed (~720 h) samples are showing partial ceramic nature. The weight loss and pH reports suggests them for alternative bio resource as a bio bones and dental implants. Observed thermal stability, microhardness and elastic modulus evaluations of ZrxCa30-xP70 materials in required standards are also additional advantage. Furthermore, thermoluminiscence (TL) under different γ-irradiation doses is reported for glasses with and without immersing in a simulated body fluid. The glasses lose TL intensity when immersed in simulated body fluid for nearly 720 h. This is useful to modulate bio-behaviour in terms of hydroxyapatite layer growth on the glass surface.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is the main inorganic component of human bone. Inspired by nacre and cortical bone, hydroxyapatite-based coil scaffolds were successfully prepared. The scaffolds presented "brick and mortar" multi-layered structure of nacre and multi-layered concentric circular structure of cortical bone. Because of bioactive components and hierarchical structure, the scaffolds possessed good compressive strength (≈95 MPa), flexural strength (≈161 MPa) and toughness (≈1.1 MJ/m3). In addition, they showed improved angiogenesis and osteogenesis in rat and rabbit critical sized bone defect models. By mimicking co-biological systems, this work provided a feasible strategy to optimize the properties of traditional tissue engineering biological materials for vascularized bone regeneration.

Abstract
Tuning interactions at the interfaces in carbon fiber (CF)-reinforced polymer composites necessitates the implementation of CF surface modification strategies that often require destructive environmentally unfriendly chemistries. In this study, interfacial interactions in cellulose-based composites are tailored by means of a mussel-inspired adhesive polydopamine (PDA) coating, being inherently benign for the environment and for the structure of CFs. The step-by-step growth of PDA was followed by increasing treatment time leading to a hydrophilic PDA-coated surface, presumably via surface-based polymerization mechanisms attributed to strong π-π stacking interactions. Although PDA deposition led to an initial increase in the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) (5 h), it decreased at a longer reaction time (24 h), the formation of weakly attached PDA particles on the coated surface can possibly lie behind the latter phenomenon. Nevertheless, the mechanical properties of the prepared short CF-reinforced composite were improved (tensile strength increased ∼12% compared to the unmodified surface) with decreasing IFSS owing to the particular morphological design, resulting in longer fiber segments. Our study underlines the importance of the morphological design at the interface and considers PDA as a promising bioinspired material to tailor interfacial interactions.
