Effect of sample treatment on the elastic modulus of locust cuticle obtained by nanoindentation

Cuticle is one of the most abundant, but least studied, biological composites. As a result, it has contributed very little to the field of biomimetics. An important step to overcome this problem is to study cuticle biomechanics by means of accurate mechanical measurements. However, due to many reaso...
