Funded Activity Summary

Electro-mechanics of natural load-bearing materials: understanding mechanisms of toughening, remodelling, and self-healing. Nature provides some of the most advanced functional structural materials, with the capability to remodel and strengthen under changing loads. The origins of the functional properties which allow them to do this will be explored, providing the possibility of developing materials which mimic this behaviour.
