This book covers the latest research work done in the area of interface mechanics of collagen
and chitin-based biomaterials along with various techniques that can be used to understand
mechanics of biological systems and materials. Topics covered include Raman spectroscopy of
biological systems scale dependence of the mechanical properties and microstructure of
crustaceans thin films as biomimetic materials as well as the role of molecular-level
modeling. The use of nanomechanics to investigate interface thermomechanics of collagen and
chitin-based biomaterials is also covered in detail.This book also:-Details spectroscope
experiments as well as nanomechanic experiments-Reviews exhaustively phenomenological models
and Raman spectroscopy of biological systems-Covers the latest in multiscaling for molecular
models to predict lab-scale sample properties and investigates interface thermomechanics
