Bioinspired materials science and engineering

'Bioinspired Materials Science and Engineering' offers a comprehensive view of the science and engineering of bioinspired materials and includes a discussion of biofabrication approaches and applications of bioinspired materials as they are fed back to nature in the guise of biomaterials.

The authors also review some biological compounds and shows how they can be useful in the engineering of bioinspired materials.

With contributions from noted experts in the field, this comprehensive resource considers biofabrication, biomacromolecules, and biomaterials.

The authors illustrate the bioinspiration process from materials design and conception to application of bioinspired materials.

In addition, the text presents the multidisciplinary aspect of the concept, and contains a typical example of how knowledge is acquired from nature.
