Scope:
Biomimetics is a rapidly expanding research area which focuses on understanding and applying principles found in nature to engineering designs. We are studying high-performance natural materials such as bone, teeth, seashells, and we are implementing what we learn from them into artificial materials. This symposium will make a fature of the recent achievements in this research field. The symposium will provide an opportunity for scientists and engineers to exchange information and ideas on the increasing potential and industrial applications of biomimetics such as: Molecular Biomimetics, Directed Self-assembly and Self-organization systems, Nano-Biomedicals, Biomineralization, Organic/Inorganic Hybrid Materials, Superhydrophobic / Superhydrophilic Surfaces, Biological and Biomimetic Sensing, Biomimetic Photonics, and Optics.
Interdisciplinary studies and discussion on the future directions of the fields are strongly encouraged.
Topics:
- I. Biomimetic Pathway for Materials Processing
(Self-organization, Directed Selef-assembly, Molecular Recognition, Biomineralization, Process-mimetics, Function-mimetics, Characterization, Nano-structure Formation, Patterning, etc.)
- II. Biomaterials, Biomimetic Materials and Biologically Inspired Materials
(Functions, Forms, Structures, Properties, Composites, etc.)
- III. Applications
(Medical, Pharmaceutical, Optical, Electronic, Mechanical, Chemical, Sensing, Coating Applications, etc.)
- IV. Characterization
(Scanning Probe Microscopy, Electron Microscopy, etc.)
