Influences of organic component on mechanical property of cortical bone with different water content by nanoindentation

The phenomenon that water in bone has important influences on mechanical properties of cortical bone has been known. However, the detail of the influence mechanism is not clear, especially in the component hierarchy. The main objective of this paper is to investigate the mechanical properties of dep...
