Variation in Juvenile Long Bone Properties as a Function of Age: Mechanical and Compositional Characterization
Bone is a heterogeneous, hierarchical biocomposite material made of an organic matrix filled with a mineral component, which plays an important role in bone strength. Although the effect of the mineral/matrix ratio on the mechanical properties of bone during aging has been intensively investigated,...
