Biomechanical and chemical characterization of elastic mussel threads from green mussels
The byssal threads of the green mussel, Perna Viridis, are a critical part of the mussel’s survival. These elastomeric fibers exhibit intriguing mechanical properties and are capable of recovering mechanical performance when loaded beyond yield point. Furthermore, Perna Viridis is a very invasive sp...
