Modeling of the Stress-Strain Behaviour of Spider Dragline; Glossary; Subject IndexThe ongoing process of bio-evolution has produced materials which are perfectly adapted to fulfil a specific functional role. The natural world provides us with a multitude of examples of materials with durability, strength, mechanisms of programmed self-assembly and biodegradability. The materials industry has sought to observe and appreciate the relationship between structure, properties and function of these biological materials. A multidisciplinary approach, building on recent advances at the forefront of physics, chemistry and molecular biology, has been successful in producinPergamon materials series ;v. 4.Biomedical materialsBiomedical materials.610/.28Elices Manuel1705742MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820598503321Structural biological materials4092698UNINA
