Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleCrack Bridging and Deflection Toughening Mechanisms of Staggered Hydroxyapatite Lamellar Microstructure in BoneYuxi Liu, Xiaohui He, Shuge Li, Zhangdong SunThe observation experiment results of the microstructure of tibial cortical bone show that the cortical bone is a layered bio-ceramic composite material composed of Hydroxyapatite (HAP) and collagen arranged alternately. HAP is a reinforcing phase and accounts for a large proportion in cortical bone. These hydroxyapatites have long and thin sheet-like structures parallel to the outer surface of the bone, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 31 Jul 2026 · 890 accessesView PDF Cite
