Summary
In biomimetic materials science, material-related processes and functions in nature are studied. Research will be aimed at the use of morphological, structural and functional properties in biological systems (organs, cells, biomolecules) for applications in advanced materials synthesis. Great weight will thus initially be placed on developing what are called tool boxes. These include nano- and micro-fabrication, soft lithography, molecular impressions, organic synthesis, self-organising systems, membrane biophysics, surface chemistry and advanced spectroscopy.
