Biomorphic mineralization: From biology to materials

摘要: Abstract Since material properties are structure-dependent, new and interesting expected from unusual or complex structures. Biomorphic mineralization is a technique that produces materials with morphologies structures resembling those of nature living things, through employing bio-structures as templates for mineralization. The products, biomorphic materials, combine natural geometry synthetic chemistry. Fundamental information along recent advances in provided this review discussions on the following aspects: produced synthesis assembly using range including biomolecules, microorganisms, plants animals; processing methods mechanisms mineralization; emerging applications multiple areas electronics, magnetics, photonics, biotech, sensing, filtration. potential various biomimicking to produce advanced will be also discussed. We conclude by making prospect material, which product close conversations between human co-operation scientists diverse fields.
