Provides new insights into materials science. Indicates the value of biology in materials science. Demonstrates how new interdisciplinary studies are influencing the fields of materials science and chemistry. Surveys this new field and shows what progress has been made as well as indicating the potential of these applications. Leading scientists review biomimetic approaches to the synthesis and processing of nanoparticles, thin patterned films, ceramics, and organic-inorganic composites. Focuses on molecule synthesis, templating, organized construction and microstructural processing of biomimetic materials.
