Sacrificial Ionic Bonds Need To Be Randomly Distributed To Provide Shear Deformability [PDF]

open access: yesNano Letters, 2009
Multivalent ions are known to allow for reversible cross-linking in soft biological materials, providing stiffness and extensibility via sacrificial bonds. We present a simple model where stiff nanoscale elements carrying negative charges are coupled in shear by divalent mobile cations in aqueous media.

Sacrificial bonds heal bone [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2001
The toughness of bone is usually attributed to its collagen, but how does it work? New evidence shows that molecular bonds can temporarily sacrifice themselves to absorb impacts.

Improving the strength and toughness of macroscale double networks by exploiting Poisson’s ratio mismatch

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
We propose a new concept that utilizes the difference in Poisson's ratio between component materials as a strengthening mechanism that increases the effectiveness of the sacrificial bond toughening mechanism in macroscale double-network (Macro-DN ...

Influence of sacrificial bonds on the mechanical behaviour of polymer chains [PDF]

open access: yesBioinspired, Biomimetic and Nanobiomaterials, 2014
A growing focus in modern materials science is the attempt to transfer principles found in nature into new technological concepts with the goal of producing novel materials with tailored mechanical properties. One of these principles used in nature is the concept of sacrificial bonding (i.e.

The role of topology and thermal backbone fluctuations on sacrificial bond efficacy in mechanical metalloproteins

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2014
Sacrificial bonding is a ubiquitous cross-linking strategy for increasing toughness that is found throughout nature in various biological materials such as bone, wood, silk and mussel byssal threads.

Modular Design of Programmable Mechanofluorescent DNA Hydrogels

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Mechanosensitive materials typically lack complex response patterns due to difficult synthetic methods. Here, the authors introduce FRET-based DNA tension probes into macroscopic 3D DNA hydrogels to prepare mechanofluorescent materials with programmable ...

Sacrificial wafer bonding for planarization after very deep etching [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Microelectromechanical Systems, 1995
A technique is presented that provides planarization after a very deep etching step in silicon. This offers the possibility for not only resist spinning and layer patterning but also for realization of bridges and cantilevers across deep grooves or holes.

The Religious World of guthis: Three facets of Newār civilization, Nepal

open access: yesEuropean Bulletin of Himalayan Research, 2021
Despite the impact of Hinduism and Tantric Buddhism, the religion of Jyāpu ‘farmers’ of the Newār ethnic group still presents features that do not fit in with these two ‘high religions’.
