Enamel is a naturally developed example of an optimised material structure that constitutes the hardest tissue in the human body. In addition it is exposed to severe mechanical and environmental challenges and must last the lifetime of the individual and unlike other tissue is unable to heal or repair itself. Understanding the factors controlling the amazing mechanical properties of this tissue will be of great benefit for the design of bio-inspired materials and be important for the development of advanced materials for which Australia already has an enviable reputation.

牙釉质是一种自然发展的优化材料结构的例子，它构成了人体中最坚硬的组织。此外，它还面临着严重的机械和环境挑战，必须持续到个人的一生，并且与其他组织不同的是，它无法自我愈合或修复。 了解控制这种组织的惊人机械性能的因素将对生物启发材料的设计大有裨益，并且对于澳大利亚已经拥有令人羡慕的声誉的先进材料的开发非常重要。
