Biomimetic toughening design of 3D-printed polymeric structures: Enhancing toughness through sacrificial bonds and hidden lengths

Spider silk is known for its excellent strength and fracture resistance properties due to its molecular design structure, characterized by sacrificial bonds and hidden lengths. These structures have inspired reinforcements of synthetic polymer materials to enhance toughness. In this study, we mimic...
