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 producin 410 0$aPergamon materials series ;$vv. 4. 606 $aBiomedical materials 615 0$aBiomedical materials. 676 $a610/.28 701 $aElices$b Manuel$01705742 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820598503321 996 $aStructural biological materials$94092698 997 $aUNINA
