Failure of Aβ(1-40) amyloid fibrils under tensile loading
Amyloid fibrils and plaques are detected in the brain tissue of patients affected by Alzheimer’s disease, but have also been found as part of normal physiological processes such as bacterial adhesion. Due to their highly organized structures, amyloid proteins have also been used for the development...
