It is shown that both shells are composed of aragonite and a small amount of proteins while the conch shell shows finer microstructure but lower strength than aba- lone shell. It is also shown that the fresh shells exhibits better property than those after heat-treatments. It is therefore sup- posed that the size of inorganic substance is not a dominant factor to improve strength, while both proteins in shells and the microstructure of inorganic matter also play important roles.展开更多

The maximal pull-out force of the inclined-cross microstructure was analyzed based on its representative model and compared with that of a conventional 0 °- structure. The experimental result indicates that the maximal pull-out force of the inclined-cross microstructure is markedly larger than that of the 0°- structure.展开更多
