Princeton engineers developed a new cement composite inspired by shell nacre, significantly enhancing its durability and flexibility. Engineers at Princeton University, drawing inspiration from the materials found in oyster and abalone shells, have developed a new cement composite. This innovative material is 17 times more resistant to cracking and 19 times more flexible and deformable without breaking compared to traditional cement. This breakthrough could significantly enhance the crack resistance of various brittle ceramic materials, ranging from concrete to porcelain.
