Structural Motifs in Soft Fibrous Tissues: Revealing Structure‐Mechanics Relationships in Deformation and Tear Resistance for Biomimetic Material Design

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores how soft fibrous tissues achieve their remarkable mechanical behavior through recurring structural motifs across multiple length scales. It highlights key advances in mimicking these features using fiber‐reinforced hydrogels and hierarchical composites, offering insights into mechanical compatibility, flaw tolerance, and tear ...
