About This Book

A review of the current state of the art of biomimetics, this book documents key biological solutions that provide a model for innovations in engineering and science. Leading experts explore a wide range of topics, including artificial senses and organs; mimicry at the cell-materials interface; modeling of plant cell wall architecture; biomimetic composites; artificial muscles; biomimetic optics; and the mimicking of birds, insects, and marine biology. The book also discusses applications of biomimetics in manufacturing, products, medicine, and robotics; biologically inspired design as a tool for interdisciplinary education; and the biomimetic process in artistic creation.
