Structure-Property Relationships in Biological and Biomimetic Materials

ID：MPS/DMR/BMAT（7623）1230266 PI：Dillen，Ardie ORG：材料研究学会名称：MRS 2012年春季会议研讨会SS：生物和仿生材料的结构-性能关系智力优势：大自然通常会产生比人造等效物更上级或更具成本效益的材料。 因此，了解生物材料的纳米和微观结构特性可能对应用材料物理学具有非常高的兴趣，并且是制造具有改进特性的新型材料的关键。 本次研讨会的目的是通过一系列邀请世界领先的专家在该领域的讲座，概述了最先进的生物分层材料的微观结构表征和该领域未来研究的潜力。 更广泛的重要性：本次研讨会还通过生物材料微观结构表征技术的卫星教程为与会学生提供了一个有吸引力的教育机会，以及在MRS会议框架内资深研究人员和年轻研究人员之间进行多学科互动的充分机会。

ID: MPS/DMR/BMAT(7623) 1230266 PI: Dillen, Ardie ORG: Materials Research SocietyTitle: MRS 2012 Spring Meeting Symposium SS: Structure-Property Relationships in Biological and Biomimetic MaterialsINTELLECTUAL MERIT: Nature often produces materials that are superior or more cost-effective than man-made equivalents. Understanding the nano- and microstructural properties of biomaterials is therefore potentially of very high interest to applied material physics and is key for the fabrication of novel materials with improved properties. The goal of this symposium is to present, through a series of invited lectures from world leading experts in the field, an overview of the state-of-the art in the microstructural characterization of biological hierarchic materials and the potential for future research in the field. An excellent team of presenters has been assembled.BROADER IMPACTS: The symposium also provides an attractive educational opportunity for participating students through a satellite tutorial on microstructural characterization techniques of biological materials, as well as ample opportunities for multidisciplinary interactions between veteran researchers and young investigators in the framework on the MRS meeting.
