High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Mineralized tissues are biological materials that incorporate minerals into soft matrices to get the stiffness needed for a protective shield or structural support in most cases. Bone, mollusc shells, deep sea sponge Euplectella species, radiolarians, diatoms, antler bone, tendon, cartilage, tooth enamel and dentin are some examples where mineralized tissues are found. These tissues have been finely tuned to enhance their mechanical capabilities over millions of years of evolution. Thus, mineralized tissues have been the subject of many studies since…mehr

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Mineralized tissues are biological materials that incorporate minerals into soft matrices to get the stiffness needed for a protective shield or structural support in most cases. Bone, mollusc shells, deep sea sponge Euplectella species, radiolarians, diatoms, antler bone, tendon, cartilage, tooth enamel and dentin are some examples where mineralized tissues are found. These tissues have been finely tuned to enhance their mechanical capabilities over millions of years of evolution. Thus, mineralized tissues have been the subject of many studies since there is a lot to learn from nature as seen from the growing field of biomimetics. The remarkable structural organization and engineering properties makes these tissues desirable candidates for duplication by artificial means. Mineralized tissues inspire miniaturization, adaptability and multifunctionality. While natural materials are made up of a limited number of components, a larger variety of material chemistries can be used to simulate the same properties in engineering applications.
