Since the discovery of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) in 2003, significant progress has been
made in the field, specifically advancing aspects of their preparation and physicochemical …

Hard dental tissues possess a complex hierarchical structure that is particularly evident in
enamel, the most mineralised substance in the human body. Its complex and interlinked …

Bioinspired iron–catechol cross-links have shown remarkable success in increasing the
mechanical properties of polymer networks, in part due to clustering of Fe3+–catechol …

Background The radula, a chitinous membrane with embedded teeth, is one important
molluscan autapomorphy. In some taxa (Polyplacophora and Patellogastropoda) one tooth …

The molluscan phylum is the second specious animal group with its taxa feeding on a
variety of food sources. This is enabled by the radula, a chitinous membrane with embedded …

Molluscs forage with their radula, a chitinous membrane with teeth. Adaptations to hard or
abrasive ingesta were well studied in Polyplacophora and Patellogastropoda, but for other …

Most molluscan taxa forage with their radula, a chitinous membrane with embedded teeth.
The teeth are the actual interfaces between the animal and its ingesta and serve as load …

The biomaterial with the highest known tensile strength is a unique composite of chitin and
goethite (α-FeO (OH)) present in teeth from the Common Limpet (Patella vulgata). A …

The radula, a chitinous membrane with embedded tooth rows, is the molluscan
autapomorphy for feeding. The morphologies, arrangements and mechanical properties of …

The molluscan phylum is characterized by the radula, used for the gathering and processing
of food. This structure can consist of a chitinous membrane with embedded rows of teeth …
