Fluorapatite-Gelatine Nanocomposite Superstructures: New Insights into a Biomimetic System of High Complexity

The beauty of complexity is reflected by the formation of hierarchical patterns on various length scales (see picture). The simulation of the fibril pattern inside a fluorapatite‐gelatine nanocomposite superstructure reveals excellent agreement with TEM data and seems to be a key scenario for the de...

Description
Summary:The beauty of complexity is reflected by the formation of hierarchical patterns on various length scales (see picture). The simulation of the fibril pattern inside a fluorapatite‐gelatine nanocomposite superstructure reveals excellent agreement with TEM data and seems to be a key scenario for the development of biogenic composite shapes and architectures.
