@article{777383, author = {Ehrlich, Hermann,}, url = {http://library.usi.edu/record/777383}, title = {Extreme biomimetics /}, publisher = {Springer,}, abstract = {This book discusses the current direction of the research approach to extreme biomimetics through biological materials-inspired chemistry and its applications in modern technology and medicine. It is a resource covering topics of extreme (psychrophilic and thermopilic) biomineralization, solvothermal and hydrothermal chemistry of metal oxides and nanostructured composites, and bioinspired materials science in a diverse areas. The authors review the current advances in the extreme biomimetics research field and describe various approaches introduced and explored by their respective laboratories. ? Details the basic principles of extreme biomimetics approach for design of new materials and applications; ? Includes numerous examples of the hierarchical organization of hydrothermally or psychrophilically obtained biocomposites, structural bioscaffolds, biosculpturing, biomimetism, and bioinspiration as tools for the design of innovative materials; ? Describes and details the principles of extreme biomimetics with respect to metallization of chemically and thermally stable biopolymers.}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-45340-8}, recid = {777383}, pages = {1 online resource}, address = {Cham, Switzerland :}, year = {2017}, }
