- This paper revealed the strongest biological material known and was a global media story, the biggest-to-date for the University of Portsmouth and the most read on the BBC website on release. The work was supported by EPSRC grant EP/E039928/1and led to an industrial collaboration with Cartier to develop watch springs from biomimetic limpet tooth materials, resulting in £198k of direct industry funding. The work was presented as invited talks at COMPO2014 and EUROMAT2013. A PhD student graduated with a thesis based on the work.
