Molecular dynamics study on stiffness and ductility in chitin–protein composite

Chitin–protein composite is the structural material of many marine animals including lobster, squid, and sponge. The relationship between mechanical performance and hierarchical nanostructure in those composites attracts extensive research interests. In order to study the molecular mechanism behind,...
