| dc.description.abstract |
Minerals are the benchmark of hard and brittle materials. Self-assembled calcitic spicules were recently obtained utilizing a protein from silica biomineralization, silicatein-a. The synthetic spicules show remarkable material properties including extreme flexibility. Breakthroughs in bio-inspired materials science are highlighted. Will it be possible to obtain similar composites with truly artificial organic constituents? Copyright © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim. | |
