Bioderived Materials

Abstract

(U)The Bioderived Materials thrust explores the use of biological and bioinspired materials to support diverse Defense missions and/or technologies that enhance the capabilities of U.S. military systems. Areas of interest include designing and developing biomolecular materials that have unique electrical and mechanical properties; new bioinspired processing routes for dynamic self-assembly of complex functional structures, including biomanufacturing; and adapting the ability of biological systems to manipulate light and texture.
