Biomimetics and Biotemplating of Natural Materials
MRS Bulletin, 2010AbstractNatural materials display a wealth of structures and fulfill a variety of functions. Hierarchical structuring is one of the keys to providing multifunctionality and to adapting to varying needs of an organism. As a consequence, the natural environment represents not only a direct and renewable source of useful materials, such as wood, plant ...

Biomimetic materials: An introduction
Proceedings, annual meeting, Electron Microscopy Society of America, 1992Biomimetics is an area of research in which the analysis of structures and functions of natural materials provide a source of inspiration for design and processing concepts for novel synthetic materials. Through biomimetics, it may be possible to establish structural control on a continuous length scale, resulting in superior structures able to ...

Materials such as bone, teeth, and seashells possess remarkable combinations of properties despite the poor structural quality of their ingredients (brittle minerals and soft proteins). Nacre from mollusk shells is 3,000 times tougher than the brittle mineral it is made of, a level of toughness amplification currently unmatched by any engineering ...
