About this book

BIOMIMICRY MATERIALS AND APPLICATIONS

Since the concept of biomimetics was first developed in 1950, the practical applications of biomimetic materials have created a revolution from biotechnology to medicine and most industrial domains, and are the future of commercial work in nearly all fields.

Biomimetic materials are basically synthetic materials or man-made materials which can mimic or copy the properties of natural materials. Scientists have created a revolution by mimicking natural polymers through semi-synthetic or fully synthetic methods. There are different methods to mimic a material, such as copying form and shape, copying the process, and finally mimicking at an ecosystem level.

This book comprises a detailed description of the materials used to synthesize and form biomimetic materials. It describes the materials in a way that will be far more convenient and easier to understand. The editors have compiled the book so that it can be used in all areas of research, and it shows the properties, preparations, and applications of biomimetic materials currently being used.

Readers of this volume will find that:

  • It introduces the synthesis and formation of biomimetic materials;
  • Provides a thorough overview of many industrial applications, such as textiles, management of plant disease detection, and various applications of electroactive polymers;
  • Presents ideas on sustainability and how biomimicry fits within that arena;
  • Deliberates the importance of biomimicry in novel materials.

Audience

This is a useful guide for engineers, researchers, and students who work on the synthesis, properties, and applications of existing biomimetic materials in academia and industrial settings.
