a Flexural stress–strain curves of all-natural bioinspired structural material with different pretreatments. b Comparison of flexural strength and stiffness of all-natural bioinspired structural material with different pretreatments. Error bars represent standard deviation. c Fracture toughness for crack initiation (KIc) and steady-state (KJc) of the all-natural bioinspired structural material and some natural nacre18. Error bars represent standard deviation. d Rising crack-extension resistance curves (evaluated by the steady-state fracture toughness KJc) of the all-natural bioinspired structural material and some natural nacre18.
