Beschreibung
This book provides an in-depth examination of how fundamental biological principles are being systematically translated into advanced nanomaterial design for applications in energy, medicine, and environmental sustainability. Drawing on concepts such as photosynthesis-inspired light harvesting, hierarchical structural organization, molecular self-assembly, and biomolecular architectures, this book presents a comprehensive and integrated overview of bioinspired synthesis and functionality. Across five parts, contributors explore innovations in solar energy conversion, electrochemical storage, enzyme-mimetic catalysis, targeted drug delivery, regenerative medicine, sensing and imaging, nano-vaccines, environmental remediation, air purification, and solar-driven desalination, demonstrating how mimicking natural systems enables materials with enhanced efficiency, adaptability, and durability.
This book also offers a critical assessment of the challenges associated with advancing bioinspired nanotechnologies from conceptual frameworks to scalable, real-world solutions. Through case studies and interdisciplinary perspectives, it addresses biocompatibility, toxicity, environmental impact, manufacturing constraints, and regulatory considerations. By combining foundational principles with emerging directions, including AI-guided materials discovery and next-generation biomimetic platforms, this book serves as a rigorous and forward-looking resource for researchers and advanced students in materials science, nanotechnology, bioengineering, chemistry, and environmental science.
