Beschreibung
In nature, biological systems and physiological processes have evolved over millions of years to improve their properties and functions. Biomimetics is the study and use of the structure and function of living things to create materials or products by reverse engineering. A major
advantage of these systems is that both biochemical and physical parameters can be precisely controlled, therefore enabling the utilization of
biomimetic systems as experimental models for guiding the research on the biological mutation and evolution in the organisms. Some
bioactive molecules such as peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids can undergo self-assembly into well-defined structures similar to the
assembly in living organs. Biomimetics is not limited to just copying nature because, with the development of modern biology, scientists
can directly utilize biological units themselves to construct new types of systems sometimes as hybrid nanostructured materials. This book
covers fundamental aspects and practical techniques of molecular assembly of biomimetic systems, especially, the layer-by-layer assembly,
self-assembly, microcontact printing, electron beam lithography and chemical nanolithography. Aimed at graduate students as well as
researchers carrying out research and development in nanotechnology, biotechnology and materials sciences.
In diesem Band werden moderne Methoden der Herstellung molekularer Aggregate für biotechnologisch relevante biomimetische Systeme (künstliche Proteine, Peptide, molekulare Motoren, photosensitive Systeme) vorgestellt. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf biomimetischen Membranen, Kapseln und Grenzflächen.
