Property Tests of Nano-indentation on pads of Gampsocleis gratiosa

Due to the complex and volatile environment to adapt to have a higher priority to the performance, artificial materials has been unable to reach the natural biological materials for the refined structure and excellent performance. In order to get artificial materials as better as the natural biological materials, more and more attentions have been paid to the micro property of biomaterials. The microstructure of biomaterials will offer an evaluable reference for design of some artificial materials. The mechanical properties of various segment pads of Gampsocleis gratiosa were measured by using the nano-indentation system. The relationship of mechanical properties of cuticle with the mechanical property content was discussed.
