We theoretically and experimentally study the mechanical response of silkworm and spider silks against stretching and the relationship with the underlying structural factors. It is found that the typical stress-strain profiles are predicted in good agreement with experimental measurements by implementing the “β-sheet…

Poly(tert-butyl acrylate) (PtBA) bruhes were successfully grafted on the cellulose filter papers via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Then the grafting PtBA brushes were transferred into poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) in the presence of trifluoroactic acid (TFA), which can form chelate complexe…

We report on the electron tunneling characteristics on La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSM) thin-film surfaces up to 580 °C in 10−3 mbar oxygen pressure, using scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS). A thresholdlike drop in the tunneling current was observed at positive bias in STS, which is interpreted as a unique indi…

The low-temperature dielectric relaxation of collagen and elastin was studied over a wide range of hydrations h. The hydration-shell response increases weakly with temperature, is thermally activated, and conforms to energy barrier scaling. This demonstrates the existence of a decoupled, secondary relaxation akin to t…

The expression for hardness related to crystal orientation is proposed. Because all quantities in the equation are inherently coupled to the atomistic structure of matter, the anisotropy of hardness can be determined by first-principles methods. The calculations show the highest hardness is in ${\text{ReB}}_{2}$ and $…
