Hierarchical composite materials design in biological exoskeletons achieves penetration resistance through a variety of energy-dissipating mechanisms while simultaneously balancing the need for damage localization to avoid compromising the mechanical integrity of the entire structure and to maintain multi-hit capability. Here

The often astonishing material properties of crystalline biominerals are generally related to the hierarchical assembly of specifically interacting organic and inorganic components. To synthesize new materials with similar advanced properties applying nature's biomimeralization strategies we need to unravel the mechanisms
