Proceedings of ARO Workshop Biostructures as Composite Materials, Held in Cleveland, Ohio on October 23-25, 1989

Abstract

Realizing the opportunities that the studies of biosystems can offer to materials scientists and engineers, and the general lack of communication between the materials scientists and the biologists, the Army Research Office organized this workshop in which active workers in the field of biomechanics and biophysics as well as materials scientists participated. The focus was on the hierarchical structures in biosystems. In addition to identifying the fundamental structural design-property relationships all the way from molecular to the engineering systems scale, participants recommended a number of areas for future research necessary to develop radically new materials and systems, in which the design principle used in nature can be utilized and perhaps even mimicked.
