Biomimetic Approach

Nanostructures
Category General
Difficulty Level Normal
Audience Level General
Description Applications are determined by structures. In this course, students are taught to be informed about structures in nanoscales.
Overview
Structures have a great deal of influence on materials’ properties, and properties leads to find out materials’ application.

 On top of that, in nanoscale, materials are manipulated to reach a specific structure for new applications. In one sense nanostructures are classified as zero, one, two and three dimensional structures. In addition, carbon nanostructures, porous materials, organic nanostructures and natural nanostructures are known classifications.

Booklet
Description
 After a brief introduction, it gives some information on the stages of this approach, the advantages of biomimetic approaches, optimization, efficiency, etc. It includes limitations, growth, compatibility, and self-assembly.
Mental Challenge
 Why do we imitate nature?
Quizzes and Activities

Activity: Try to give an idea about a mechanism in the environment that can be used in modern technologies.
