The obtained composite exhibits excellent wear resistance, high flexural strength, moderate fracture toughness and Vickers hardness.
This kind of material should mainly have moderate fracture toughness and should exhibit oxidation resistant behaviour at low and intermediate temperature.

It is concluded that the pulsing of nitrogen flow rate during reactive deposition of TiN coatings allows one to obtain encouraging combinations of moderate hardness and high toughness.
For instance, bone is primarily designed for withstanding time-dependent loading (for example, withstanding stresses while running, jumping, accidental fall) and hence the microstructure is designed primarily from enhanced toughness and moderate stiffness point of view.
The results show that this kind of copolymers exhibit good toughness and moderate strength in comparison with homopolymer PHB, the degradation rate and equilibrium water content (EWC) are much higher than those of the PHB homopolymer.
Bone is an example of one such material, as the strengths of both of its components compensate for the weaknesses of each, i.e., HAp imparts high elastic modulus and compressive strength to the bone, whereas collagen yields toughness, elasticity and moderate tensile strength to it.
