Features: Biology is a remarkable engineer. With simple movements, it can combine some extremely ordinary elements to create exquisite structures with outstanding performance, a scientific and artistic masterpiece so wondrous that it makes even the most outstanding materials scientists of our time ashamed. It is precisely this magical material preparation art of biology that inspires scientists, leading material science into a new world of biomimicry. This book is one of the "Popular Science Series on High-Tech," providing a concise introduction to biomimicry, including structural biomimicry that mimics the structural features of natural materials, process biomimicry that mimics the formation of materials in organisms, and functional biomimicry that simulates the functional properties of biological materials and systems. This book is suitable for researchers, technicians, and managers working in the fields of biomaterials, composite processing, and nanotechnology. It can also serve as a reference for students and teachers in relevant disciplines at colleges and universities.
