Biomimetic engineering of shock-absorbing materials inspired by marine snail egg capsule proteins
The egg capsule from the marine snail Busycotypus canaliculatus is a bioelastomer that possesses unique biomechanical properties. It is highly elastic and relatively stiff in comparison to both synthetic and natural elastomeric materials, and exhibits a remarkable capability to absorb mechanical ene...
