TAILIEUCHUNG - ADVANCES IN BIOMIMETICS

Biomimetics is the science of emulating nature’s design. In nature, living organisms synthesize mineralized tissues and this process of biomineralization is under strict biological control. It involves the interactions of several biological macromolecules among themselves and with the mineral components. Generally, natures design principles are based on a “Bott om-Up” strategy. Such processes lead to the formation of hierarchically structured organic-inorganic composites with mechanical properties optimized for a given function. A common theme in mineralized tissues is the intimate interaction between the organic and inorganic phases and this leads to the unique properties seen in biological materials | ADVANCES IN BIOMIMETICS Edited by Anne George Advances in Biomimetics Edited by Anne George Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2011 InTech All chapters are Open Access articles distributed under the Creative Commons Non Commercial Share Alike Attribution license which permits to copy distribute transmit and adapt the work in any medium so long as the original work is properly cited.
