Description
This text contains a collection of papers presented at a workshop on biomimicking. The three main topics discussed are: structures and properties of biological systems; mechanisms and control of nucleation and growth in biomineralization; and processing and properties of synthetic materials produced through biomimicking. This book is intended to be of use to students and researchers in biophysics, physical chemistry and medical physics.
