Bioinspiration and Biomimicry in Chemistry
Opis
This book reviews and summarizes the many and varied forms of bioinspiration and biomimicry that are found in chemistry, from the crude to the highly sophisticated, from the near-biological to the totally industrial and abiological. It critically evaluates our true understanding of biological processes and systems by considering our ability to replicate them in non-biological settings. Research chemists will find critical and holistic evaluation of chemical processes in nature. "As such, it holds a unique place in the literature, and would be best suited for advanced students or researchers interested in this area. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers/faculty, and professionals/practitioners." ( Choice , 1 August 2013)
