Biomimetic materials
Life is a specific characteristic of our planet. The diversity of life, biodiversity, is one of the most fascinating phenomena. We know some 1.8 million different species, but all extrapolations show that probably 20 million or more species exist: We know less than 10% of the plants, animals and micro-organisms living on the planet Earth. The editors, who are both biologists, are well acquainte...
متن کاملBiomimetic polyorganosiloxanes: model compounds for new materials.
The chemistry of N-organosilylalkyl-substituted heterocyclic bases (thymine, adenine and cytosine) is described, covering the structures of model compounds, the synthesis of substituted oligo-siloxanes and a preliminary report of the synthesis of a poly(organosiloxane) with pendant N-alkyl(heterocycle) functionalities. N-Alkenylthymines CH2=CH(CH2)(n)T (T = thymine, n = 1 (1), 2 (2), 3 (3)) hav...
متن کاملEngineering Tough Materials: Biomimetic Eggshell
This final report summarizes the work completed on the two year pilot project, which concluded 31 July 2016. The first section summarizes the two previous reports to place the current work in context. Two new research results sections are included here. The first concerns the use of a synthetic peptide, mimicking natural eggshell protein believed to be influential in biomineralization, to exami...
متن کاملBiomimetic materials for controlling bone cell responses.
Bone defects that cannot "heal spontaneously during life" will become an ever greater health problem as populations age. Harvesting autografts has several drawbacks, such as pain and morbidity at both donor and acceptor sites, the limited quantity of material available, and frequently its inappropriate shape. Researchers have therefore developed alternative strategies that involve biomaterials ...
متن کاملStructural Hierarchy of Biomimetic Materials For
Gelatine gels and gelatine/elastin gels have been prepared to be used in tissue engineered vascular grafts. Optical microscopy and AFM revealed that the gelatine formed nanofibrils as in soft collagen tissues. The gelatine/elastin gels were nanocomposites with flat elastin nanodomains embedded in the gelatine matrix mimicking the structure of the tunica media in arteries. Gelatine/ " hydroxyapa...
