Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
Engineered Biomimicry covers a broad range of research topics in the emerging discipline
of biomimicry. Biologically inspired science and technology, using the principles
of math and physics, has led to the development of products as ubiquitous as VelcroT
(modeled after the spiny hooks on plant seeds and fruits). Readers will learn to take
ideas and concepts like this from nature, implement them in research, and understand
and explain diverse phenomena and their related functions. From bioinspired computing
and medical products to biomimetic applications like artificial muscles, MEMS, textiles
and vision sensors, Engineered Biomimicry explores a wide range of technologies informed
by living natural systems. Engineered Biomimicry helps physicists, engineers and material
scientists seek solutions in nature to the most pressing technical problems of our
times, while providing a solid understanding of the important role of biophysics.
Some physical applications include adhesion superhydrophobicity and self-cleaning,
structural coloration, photonic devices, biomaterials and composite materials, sensor
systems, robotics and locomotion, and ultra-lightweight structures. Explores biomimicry,
a fast-growing, cross-disciplinary field in which researchers study biological activities
in nature to make critical advancements in science and engineeringIntroduces bioinspiration,
biomimetics, and bioreplication, and provides biological background and practical
applications for each Cutting-edge topics include bio-inspired robotics, microflyers,
surface modification and more
