Iron-Clad Fibers: A Metal-Based Biological Strategy for Hard Flexible Coatings

The extensible byssal threads of marine mussels are shielded from abrasion in wave-swept habitats by an outer cuticle that is largely proteinaceous and approximately fivefold harder than the thread core. Threads from several species exhibit granular cuticles containing a protein that is rich in the...
