The document summarizes research on the mechanical and physical properties of demineralized and deproteinated bones. It discusses how bones have a hierarchical structure composed of mineral (hydroxyapatite) and protein (collagen) components. Experiments were conducted to compress intact, demineralized, and deproteinated bovine femur and elk antler samples to analyze how removing minerals or proteins affects their mechanical properties. Results showed demineralized bone behaved like a composite material while intact bone's strength relies on its mineral characteristics.
