Dentin nanostructures - a super-natural phenomenon
Berlin, Germany (SPX) Jun 03, 2016
Dentin is one of the most durable biological materials in the human body. Researchers from Charite - Universitatsmedizin Berlin were able to show that the reason for this can be traced to its nanostructures and specifically to the interactions between the organic and inorganic components. Measurements performed at BESSYII, the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin's synchrotron radiation source, showed that it is the mechanical coupling between the collagen protein fibers and mineral nanoparticles which render ... read more
