Silk Materials: Hierarchical Structure of Silk Materials Versus Mechanical Performance and Mesoscopic Engineering Principles (Small 51/2019)
Source abstract
Abstract
This cover design is inspired by an ancient Chinese myth of “Fuxi & Nvwa”. Herein, two silkworms are bundled together under mulberry trees. The left and right silkworms represent the structure and mechanical performance of silk materials, respectively. The five-storied pagoda suggests the five-level structure and the entanglement emphasizes the fact that hierarchical structures are highly correlated to mechanical performance. In article number 1903948, Xiang Yang Liu and co-workers review five levels of hierarchical structures associated with the mechanical performance of silk materials.
