Scope
Living things in the nature have acquired the rational biological process and highly functional materials along the long evolutional process. Therefore, it is possible to fabricate a new technology and novel materials by biomimetic. The concept of biomimetic has been utilized for the development of materials including nano-materials and soft-interface technology. For example the super hydrophobic interface by Lotus effect and the adhesive interface by Gecko’s effect are well known as biomimetic functional materials. Biomaterials also requires the well-defined design to control the biological functions. Biomimetic is a key concept for biomaterials design. For example, non-specific protein bindings are inhibited at the biointerface, while the essential biological interactions are utilized. The biopolymer of phospholipid mimetics are reported to inhibit the non-specific protein adsorption and thrombus. The sophisticated biomaterials control the biological interaction, and those biomaterials are utilized for drug delivery systems and tissue engineering.,In this session, we focus on the biomimetic materials and biomaterials. The novel material design and functions will be discussed. The main topics of this session are biomimetic materials, biomaterials, polymer materials and bio-interfaces.
