Hierarchical Structures in Biology as a Guide for New Materials Technology

by Committee on Synthetic Hierarchical Structures, National Materials Advisory Board, Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences, et al.

Hierarchical structures are those assemblages of molecular units or their aggregates embedded within other particles or aggregates that may, in turn, be part of even larger units of increasing levels of organization. This volume reviews the state of the art of synthetic techniques and processing procedures for assembling these structures. Typical natural-occurring systems used as models for synthetic efforts and insight on properties, unusual characteristics,...
