Silks: Crystal Networks in Silk Fibrous Materials: From Hierarchical Structure to Ultra Performance (Small 9‐10/2015)
Source abstract
Abstract
Crystal networks bridge the hard and the soft worlds of materials, as described by X. Y. Liu and co-workers on page 1039. For many functional materials of complex structures, the functionality that is critical to macroscopic behavior begins to manifest itself at the mesoscale. While crystals have been hard functional materials for centuries, crystal networks are found to be one type of mesoscopic structure, and they play a key role in the macroscopic performance of various soft materials.
