该探索的最初始思想来自2006-2007年，Ed Kramer教授提出人类皮肤力学性能可否在聚合物体系中得以真实的实现？
我们课题组坚持不懈，不断尝试，
历时长达7年之久，
终于在2014年初实现了该思想。
感谢Ed! 感谢Zhongkai! 感谢治斌！
这是聚合物物理与聚合物化学相结合的结晶！

Human skin exhibits highly nonlinear elastic properties that are essential to its physiological functions. It is soft at low strain but stiff at high strain, thereby protecting internal organs and tissues from mechanical trauma. However, to date, the development of materials to mimic the unique mechanical properties of human skin is still a great challenge. Here we report a bioinspired design of nanostructured elastomers combining two abundant plant-based biopolymers, stiff cellulose and elastic polyisoprene (natural rubber), to mimic the mechanical properties of human skin. The nanostructured elastomers show highly nonlinear mechanical properties closely mimicking that of human skin. Importantly, the mechanical properties of these nanostructured elastomers can be tuned by adjusting cellulose
content, providing the opportunity to synthesize materials that mimic
the mechanical properties of different types of skins. Given the
simplicity, efficiency, and
tunability, this design may provide a promising strategy for creating
artificial skin for both general mechanical and biomedical applications.
