From nature to additive manufacturing: Biomimicry of porcupine quill

A porcupine’s quill is an extraordinary natural armor capable of withstanding high compression load. By unravelling the unique properties of the porcupine quill design, the bioinspired structures can be applied in engineering applications. The present work investigates both the mechanical and chemic...
