“…Semicrystalline thermoplastic matrices may be most effective in practice, although they tend to be opaque. On the other hand, it is interesting to note that biological systems are often designed with a hard reinforcement and a very soft matrix. …”

“…The outward tapering and geometric dovetailing motifs observed in the reinforcement phase of nacre [1][2][3] have been successfully implemented in macro-composites 4 and more recently to 3 mm diameter short steel fibers with machined conical ends. 5 Fiber pullout tests of these steel fibers from an epoxy matrix demonstrated that fibers with an taper angle of 5° dissipated up to 27 times more energy than straight fibers, whereas larger angles induced premature matrix failure.…”
