We are investigating the structure-function relationships of these tough light weight biological composites using microscopy, spectroscopy as well as mechanical testing to reveal new details about the mechanisms of their microstructure. This work endeavors to provide insight into the creation of the next generation of light weight impact resistant materials for use in aerospace automotive and defense industries.
