Biomimetics in Materials Science: Self-Healing, Self-Lubricating, and Self-Cleaning Materials

by Michael Nosonovsky, Pradeep K Rohatgi, P.K. Rohatgi, et al.

Book Overview

Biomimetics in Materials Science provides a comprehensive theoretical and practical review of biomimetic materials with self-healing, self-lubricating and self-cleaning properties. These three topics are closely related and constitute rapidly developing areas of study. The field of self-healing materials requires a new conceptual understanding of this biomimetic technology, which is in contrast to traditional engineering processes...
