This volume reviews the state of the art of synthetic techniques and processing procedures for assembling these structures. Typical natural-occurring systems used as models for synthetic efforts and insight on properties, unusual characteristics, and potential end-use applications are identified. Suggestions are made for research and development efforts to mimic such structures for broader applications.Publication NMAB ;464.MaterialsResearchSynthetic productsMicrostructureMorphologyMaterialsResearch.Synthetic products.Microstructure.Morphology.620.1/1National Research Council (U.S.).Committee on Synthetic Hierarchical Structures.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910960966803321Hierarchical structures in biology as a guide for new materials technology4364360UNINA
