Biomaterials with outstanding mechanical properties, including spider silk, wood, and cartilage, often feature an oriented nanofibrillar structure. The orientation of nanofibrils gives rise to a significant mechanical anisotropy, which is extremely challenging to characterize, especially for microscopically small or inhomogeneous samples. Here, a technique utilizing atomic force microscope indentation...
Silks have fascinated researchers for decades, featuring outstanding mechanical performance and vast potential as a multifunctional material. Development of synthetic fibers mimicking natural silk is a major goal but has been hindered by insufficient knowledge of the silk structure. Nanoscale fibrils have long been suggested to play a significant role in silk; in this review, we examine prior evidence...
