Mussel Byssus Cuticle: Metal Coordination‐Mediated Functional Grading and Self‐Healing in Mussel Byssus Cuticle (Adv. Sci. 23/2019)

摘要

In article number , Quan Xu, Yu Tian, Zhenhai Xia, and co‐workers present how mussel cuticle is a functionally‐graded material with high stiffness, extensibility, and self‐healing capacity and oxygen absorbs on metal ions, weakening the iron‐catecholate bonds in the cuticle and collagen core, but this process can be reversed by sea water.
