Bioelectrometallurgy of Copper on Chitin

摘要: The central idea of Extreme Biomimetics is based around the preparation materials under conditions, which are extreme from point view living organisms (high temperature, high pressure, low pH level, etc.). use temperatures and pressures to emulate these biomimetic conditions widely used for diverse (element oxides)-biopolymer hybrid composites. Here, we propose an alternative way on a well-known process—electrochemical deposition or so-called plating. This method allows production metallic metal–oxide structures in vitro, replicas original substrate. We new term “bioelectrometallurgy ,” define as electroplating biological matrices. For first time marine demosponge skeletons cell-free Aplysina fulva , possess 3D network structure, were copper
