Biomimetic, Bio-inspired and Self-Assembled Materials for Engineered Surfaces and Applications: Volume 1498 [Hardcover]

This volume presents papers from five symposia: L, M, Q, R, and S, held at the 2012 MRS Fall Meeting.This volume represents a collection of papers from five distinct yet related symposia: L, M, Q, R, and S, held at the 2012 MRS Fall Meeting from November 2530, 2012, in Boston, Massachusetts.This volume represents a collection of papers from five distinct yet related symposia: L, M, Q, R, and S, held at the 2012 MRS Fall Meeting from November 2530, 2012, in Boston, Massachusetts.This volume represents a collection of papers from five distinct yet related symposia: Symposium L, Biomimetic Nanoscale Platforms, Particles, and Scaffolds for Biomedical Applications; Symposium M, Bioinspired Directional SurfacesFrom Nature to Engineered Textured Surfaces; Symposium Q, Functional and Responsive Materials Exploiting Peptide and Protein Self-Assembly; Symposium R, Fundamentals of Assembly in Biomolecular and Biomimetic Systems; and Symposium S, Directed Self-Assembly for Nanopatterning. This volume is thus the first for which the papers are from a larger group of thematically-related symposia, with emphasis on bioinspiration and biomimicry, self-assembly and natural materials.Part I. Biomimetic Nanoscale Platforms, Particles, and Scaffolds for Biomedical Applications; Part II. Bioinspired Directional Surfaces  From Nature to Engineered Textured Surfaces; Part III. Functional and Responsive Materials Exploiting Peptide and Protein Self-Assembly; Part IV. Fundamentals of Assembly in Biomolecular and Biomimetic Systems; Part V. Directed Self-Assembly for Nanopatterning.
