Nacre

A biomineral consisting of layers of crystalized ARAGONITE, separated by interlamellar layers of organic matrix containing beta-CHITIN, and surrounded by an intercrystalline organic membrane of silk fibroin. Nacre is the iridescent substance better known as mother-of-pearl that is secreted by MOLLUSCS.

Fatigue 06/01/2023 - "Benefited from the nacre-inspired structure and the 3D network of BC, the nanopaper exhibits excellent mechanical properties, including high tensile strength (375 MPa), outstanding foldability, and bending fatigue resistance. " 01/01/2017 - "Herein, a kind of ultrahigh fatigue resistant graphene-based nanocomposite via tungsten disulfide (WS2) nanosheets is synthesized by introducing a synergistic effect with covalently cross-linking inspired by the orderly layered structure and abundant interfacial interactions of nacre. " 03/25/2014 - "The artificial nacre achieves an excellent balance of strength and toughness and a fatigue-resistant property, superior to natural nacre and other conventional layered clay/polymer binary composites. " 10/29/2022 - "Inspired by the nacre microstructure capable of restraining the stress concentration, we exemplify a versatile MXene-based thermistor elastomer sensor (TES) platform that significantly alleviates the strain interference by the biomimetic laminated strategy combining with the in-plane stress dissipation and nacre-mimetic hierarchical architecture, delivering competitive advantages of superior thermosensitivity (-1.32% °C-1), outstanding temperature resolution (~0.3 °C), and unparalleled mechanical durability (20000 folding fatigue cycles), together with considerable improvement in strain-tolerant thermosensation over commercial thermocouple in exercise scenario.

2.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 07/19/2022 - "The French National Cancer Institute conducted a collective expertise study with researchers and clinical experts from the French Network for Nutrition And Cancer Research (NACRe Network). " 03/01/2002 - "In taking into account some recent conflicting data, a working group of the Nacre network, the French Network for Food and Cancer Research, has conduced a critical analysis of epidemiological and experimental studies, including the preliminary data from the Epic cohort, the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition, to clarify the role of fruits and vegetables to prevent cancer. " 02/01/2021 - "Ce rapport est issu d’une d’expertise collective ayant fait appel à des experts du Réseau national alimentation cancer recherche (Réseau NACRe, www.inrae.fr/nacre). " 02/01/2021 - "This report is the result of a collective expertise by an expert group from the French Network for Nutrition And Cancer Research (NACRe Network, www.inrae.fr/nacre). " 01/01/2017 - "L’évaluation des connaissances actuelles par des groupes d’experts, notamment le groupe d’experts du Réseau national alimentation cancer recherche (réseau NACRe) coordonné par l’Institut national du cancer, a permis d’établir des niveaux de preuve jugés convaincants ou probables pour les relations entre plusieurs facteurs nutritionnels jugés pertinents pour la population française et le risque de cancer.

5.	Rupture 09/10/2014 - "Inspired by the hierarchical structure and excellent mechanical performance of nacre, LDH nanosheets with an appropriate aspect ratio to withstand significant loads and at the same time allow for rupture under the pull-out mode were synthesized as artificial building blocks for the fabrication of nacre-like films. " 07/27/2010 - "Many natural composites, such as nacre or bone, achieve exceptional toughening enhancements through the rupture of noncovalent secondary bonds between chain segments in the organic phase. " 05/29/2019 - "This puncture-resistant gel, dubbed as gel-nacre, is able to survive a few challenging incidents, including a 400 MPa puncture from a sharp nail, a 1 cm steel ball traveling at 540 km/h, and attempted rupture on stitched samples." 01/08/2020 - "Many natural materials, such as silk, animal bone, nacre, and plant fibers, achieve outstanding strength and toughness through the rupture of sacrificial bonds between chain segments in the organic phase. " 03/13/2017 - "A controversial feature is the presence of nanoflaws in aragonite nacre, as it is expected that flaws would weaken the material, whereas nacre still shows high toughness and rupture strength.
