Mammalian tooth enamel functional sophistication demonstrated by combined nanotribology and synchrotron radiation FTIR analyses

Mammalian tooth enamel functional sophistication demonstrated by combined nanotribology and synchrotron radiation FTIR analyses

Summary: The teeth of limbed vertebrates used for capturing and processing food are composed of mineralized dentine covered by hypermineralized enamel, the hardest material organisms produce. Here, we combine scanning probe microscopy, depth sensing, and spectromicroscopy (SR-FTIR) to characterize t...
