Sacrificial Bonds and Hidden Length: Unraveling Molecular Mesostructures in Tough Materials [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2006 Sacrificial bonds and hidden length in structural molecules and composites have been found to greatly increase the fracture toughness of biomaterials by providing a reversible, molecular-scale energy-dissipation mechanism. This mechanism relies on the energy, of order 100 eV, needed to reduce entropy and increase enthalpy as molecular segments are ...
