Mechanical properties of plants and underlying structure-property relationships are important for agricultural purposes as well as for biomimetic concepts. In this study, the effect of mechanical stimulation on morphology and bending properties of the stalk was investigated for Sorghum bicolor (Poaceae), a widely used drought-tolerant biomass grass. An experimental set-up allowing for defined growth...
Chitin originating from marine sponges possesses a unique nanofibrillar network structure that is the basic element of the microtubular scaffold-like skeleton of these organisms. Sponge chitin represents an intriguing example of thermostability, as it is stable up to 400 °C. It also constitutes a renewable biological source due to the high regeneration ability of Aplysina sponges under marine farming...
