Abstract: In nature, shark tooth enameloid exhibits an intricate anisotropic structure composed of high-aspect-ratio fluorapatite (FAp) fibrous nanocrystals, which impart exceptional mechanical properties. Mineral-based liquid-crystalline (LC) colloids provide a promising strategy for constructing such anisotropic structural… read more here.
