“…From an experimental point of view, researchers need to remember that when working with naturally occurring biological materials such as mineralized fish scales, reporting the spatial location of the scale on the fish is critical since prior research has shown mechanical properties of mineralized fish scales are dependent to where the scales were located on the fish 4 .…”

“…Mechanical properties of mineralized biological materials has also been shown to be dependent on the hydration state of the samples 4 . This limits the usefulness of this technique when trying to compare fresh samples that have been properly hydrated to published results in the open literature, which use dry fossilized samples.…”

“…The investigations on the design principles of armored fish scales for Pagrus major 7 , Polypterus senagalus 2,6 , Arapaima gigas 3 , Cyprinus carpio 4 , and Atractosteus spatula 1 have demonstrated the need to expand the application of existing experimental methods to study the structural responses and microstructural characteristics, since detailed standard procedures are not available for these types of materials and experiments.…”

“…Understanding the structure-property relationships for these material systems at the microscale and nanoscale where failure initiates is essential. Currently, experimental techniques such as nanoindentation, X-ray CT, and SEM provide researchers with a way to correlate the mechanical behavior with hierarchical microstructures of these material systems [1][2][3][4][5][6] . However, a well-defined standard procedure for specimen preparation of mineralized biomaterials is not currently available.…”

The hierarchical architecture of protective biological materials such as mineralized fish scales, gastropod shells, ram's horn, antlers, and turtle shells provides unique design principles with potentials for guiding the design of protective materials and systems in the future. Understanding the structure-property relationships for these material systems at the microscale and nanoscale where failure initiates is essential. Currently, experimental techniques such as nanoindentation, X-ray CT, and SEM provide researchers with a way to correlate the mechanical behavior with hierarchical microstructures of these material systems [1][2][3][4][5][6] . However, a well-defined standard procedure for specimen preparation of mineralized biomaterials is not currently available. In this study, the methods for probing spatially correlated chemical, structural, and mechanical properties of the multilayered scale of A. spatula using nanoindentation, FTIR, SEM, with energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) microanalysis, and X-ray CT are presented.

“…On the other hand, elasmoid scales, such as those found in the arapaima [9,10], bass [11][12][13], carp [15], and sea bream [14,16] are more flexible with a greater degree of imbrication (overlap). They are also thinner and more flexible than the ganoid scales.…”

Natural Flexible Dermal Armor

et al. 2012

Fish, reptiles, and mammals can possess flexible dermal armor for protection. Here we seek to find the means by which Nature derives its protection by examining the scales from several fish (Atractosteus spatula, Arapaima gigas, Polypterus senegalus, Morone saxatilis, Cyprinius carpio), and osteoderms from armadillos, alligators, and leatherback turtles. Dermal armor has clearly been developed by convergent evolution in these different species. In general, it has a hierarchical structure with collagen fibers joining more rigid units (scales or osteoderms), thereby increasing flexibility without significantly sacrificing strength, in contrast to rigid monolithic mineral composites. These dermal structures are also multifunctional, with hydrodynamic drag (in fish), coloration for camouflage or intraspecies recognition, temperature and fluid regulation being other important functions. The understanding of such flexible dermal armor is important as it may provide a basis for new synthetic, yet bioinspired, armor materials.
