AbstractAntler is an extraordinary bone tissue that displays significant overall toughness when compared to other bone materials. The origin of this toughness is due to the complex interaction between the nanoscale constituents as well as structural hierarchy in the antler material. Of particular interest is the mechanical performance of the interface between the collagen fibrils and considerably smaller volume of non-collagenous protein (NCP) between these fibrils. This paper directly examines the mechanical properties of isolated volumes of antler using combined in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM)-scanning electron microscopy (SEM) experiments. The antler material at the nanoscale is approximated to a fiber reinforced composite, with composite theory used to evaluate the interfacial shear stresses generated between the individual collagen fibrils and NCP during mechanical loading.

AbstractIn situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to investigate the kinetics of demineralization of human dentin collagen fibrils. Individual dentin collagen fibrils containing intrafibrillar mineral were isolated, transferred onto a glass slide and exposed to water for a day prior to demineralization studies. The fibrils then were exposed to trypsin for removal of non-collagenous proteins and subsequently demineralized in 10 vol % citric acid. Topographic images showed a gradual increase in gap-overlap depth of the fibril. The gap-overlap depth varied linearly with the square root of time before saturation at 7 nm in approximately sixty minutes, suggesting a diffusion process for demineralization of intrafibrillar mineral. Micro Raman studies of partially demineralized dentin revealed the existence of a phosphate peak at wave number close to 960 cm-1. The peak gradually disappeared in 60 minutes as the samples were exposed to 10% citric acid, supporting the notion that AFM topography may be correlated to the degree of intrafibrillar mineralization.

AbstractFor previously studied Fischer–Tropsch nanosized Fe catalyst slurries, polymer compounds with or without polyconjugating structures are used as precursors to form the catalyst nanomatrix in situ, and several catalytic experiments and X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy measurements are performed. The important and different roles of the paraffin molecules in the slurry medium in the formation and function of composite catalysts with the two types of aforementioned polymer matrices are revealed. In the case of the polyconjugated polymers, the alkanes in the medium are “weakly” coordinated with the metal-polymer composites, which does not affect the effectiveness of the polyconjugated polymers. Otherwise, alkane molecules form a “tight” surface layer around the composite particles, which create transport complications for the reagents and products of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and, in some cases, can change the course of the in situ catalyst formation.
