This book covers big breakthroughs in bionispiration for energy applications, surface technology, metamaterials and ceramics for regenerativemedicine.
The development of novel materials whose structure, properties or function are inspired by nature or living matter is a wide and dynamically evolving field. There is virtually no field of scientific endeavour that has not felt the touch of the 'bioinspired' ethos. Bioinspired In…
