- Summary:
- Biomimetics, in general terms, aims at understanding biological principles and applying them for the development of man-made toolsand technologies. This approach is particularly important for the purposeful design of passive as well as functional biomaterials that mimicphysicochemical, mechanical and biological properties of natural materials, making them suitable, for example, for biomedical devices oras scaffolds for tissue regeneration.The book comprehensively covers biomimetic approaches to the development of biomaterials, including: an overview of naturally occurring<b
