Publish Date: 2004-05-01
Features: Biology is a engineer, capable of combining extremely ordinary elements into exquisite structures with superior performance through simple actions. Its magic is enough to make contemporary outstanding material scientists ashamed. It is precisely this magical material preparation art of biology that inspires scientists, leading material science into a new world of bionics. This book is one of the "Popular Science Series on High-Tech," providing a concise introduction to material bionics, including structural bionics that mimics the structural features of natural materials, process bionics that mimics the formation of materials in organisms, and functional bionics that simulates the functions of biological materials and systems. This book is suitable for researchers, technicians, and managers engaged in R&D in the fields of biomaterials, composite processing, and nanotechnology. It can also be used as a reference for faculty and students of relevant majors in colleges and universities.
