Abstract
Over millions of years Nature has attained highly optimized structural designs with remarkable toughness, strength, damage resistance and damage tolerance - properties that are so far difficult to combine in artificial high-performance fibre-reinforced polymers (HPFRPs). Recent studies, which have successfully replicated the structures and especially the toughening mechanisms found in flora and fauna, are reviewed in this work. At the core of...
