Metal Coordination‐Mediated Functional Grading and Self‐Healing in Mussel Byssus Cuticle (open access)

Metal Coordination‐Mediated Functional Grading and Self‐Healing in Mussel Byssus Cuticle

Article demonstrates direct evidence of Fe3+ and Fe2+ gradient distribution across mussel byssal cuticle threads thickness, which shows more Fe2+ inside the inner cuticle, to support the hypothesis that the cuticle is a functionally graded material with high stiffness, extensibility, and self‐healing capacity.
