Abstract:
Blood clots are naturally derived bioadhesives that adhere to tissues, plug vascular damage and stop bleeding. Their function of hemostasis hinges on their resistance against rupture (toughness). Despite the relevance, fracture mechanics of blood clots remains largely unexplored, particularly the toughness and critical length scales governing clot fracture have not been reported. Here, we study the fracture behavior of human whole blood clots and platelet-poor plasma clots.
